Recent respective form guides

Airdrie United's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Diamonds have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

East Fife's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Fifers have hit 5 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Airdrie United find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 14 games have yielded only 8 points.

East Fife are stuck down in the relegation zone of Scottish League One with a return of just 14 points from their 15 games thus far.
