Venue: Central Park (5268 seats)

The visiting Edinburgh City side should be favourites in this visit to Cowdenbeath, as the away team holds a 34 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.

Cowdenbeath form and stats

When playing at home, Cowdenbeath have managed 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 7 defeats from 15 games.

The fans are hoping that Cowdenbeath will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the League Two game against Peterhead. Heartbreak before that as Cowdenbeath lost 0-1 at Albion Rovers's place.
