Recent respective form guides

Forfar Athletic's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Loons have scored 8, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

East Fife's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Fifers have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Forfar Athletic are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 23 points from 24 matches.

East Fife lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Two, picking up 33 from their 24 games so far.
