Recent respective form guides

East Fife's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Fifers have scored 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Arbroath's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 leaked at the wrong end.

East Fife are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 25 points from 22 matches. Arbroath are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 20 points from 22 matches.
