Soccer match preview: Raith Rovers confident before travelling to Stenhousemuir

Competition: Scotland League One
Date: Sat 06.April
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Ochilview Park (5267 seats)

The visiting Raith Rovers side should be favourites in this visit to Stenhousemuir, as the away team holds a 23 point advantage from their 31 league games this season.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all. This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Raith Rovers's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Raith Rovers have performed like this: Played nine matches resulting in 3 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats with the goal stats 15-18 (scored/conceded).
