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 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Cowdenbeath's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Blue Brazil's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 7 against.
East Fife's total of 5 points from their 3 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Irn Bru Scottish Division Two. Cowdenbeath are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 3 matches.
