History of the Cowdenbeath v Clyde fixture

Cowdenbeath play host to Clyde at Central Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Blue Brazil are clearly on top, winning 52.17% of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Cowdenbeath was way back in the black-and-white days of July 1981, where Clyde annihilated the Blue Brazil 0-4 in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Cowdenbeath need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Blue Brazil have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Clyde is pretty dire, attaining just 3 draws from the previous six away games. While the Bully Wee have hit 5 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Its been a distinctly poor show from Cowdenbeath at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Blue Brazil will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
