Arbroath vs East Fife Predictions

• Arbroath won their opening League Cup tie by a 1-0 scoreline away to Elgin
• This is East Fife’s first game in the League Cup this season
• East Fife have gone six games without a win against Arbroath

Arbroath to snatch another win

Arbroath opened their League Cup account with a win away to Elgin at the weekend, giving them a real confidence boost heading into this tie. Arbroath finished in seventh place in the Scottish Championship, scoring and conceding just over a goal a game.

East Fife play their first League Cup game in this tie and they will be hoping to pick up at least a point on the road. The side finished sixth in League One, top of the relegation group, and scored 30 times in 22 games. They conceded at a rate of 1.5 goals per game however and will hope their defence will be stronger this season.

East Fife not having played a competitive fixture so far this season makes this a tough game to predict but we think Arbroath have the strength to pick up another win in this tie. Their squad looks stronger on paper and with a win behind them at the weekend, we’re backing them to claim another 1-0 win.
