Recent respective form guides

East Fife's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Fifers have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Cowdenbeath however, is much more impressive, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Blue Brazil, and 3 goals against.

East Fife are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 20 points from 17 matches. Cowdenbeath are leading the way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Two, with their 17 games giving them a return of 34 points.
