Raith vs Dunfermline Predictions

• Raith are undefeated in their last five games against Dunfermline.
• There have been fewer than three goals in Raith’s last five matches overall.
• The visitors are without a win or a clean sheet in their last four games.

Home form key for Raith Rovers

The hosts Raith are coming off the back of a disappointing 2-0 loss last time out away to Ayr United and its a result that means they’ve now suffered back-to-back defeats. They’ll be happy to be back on home soil here as they’ve lost just one of their nine league games played at Stark’s Park, winning five of those and drawing three. Based on home form alone this season, Raith Rovers are a top-two side and will be confident heading into this one.

Visitors Dunfermline suffered a heavy 3-0 home defeat to leaders Arbroath last time out and it meant that their winless streak stretched to four games. Of the eight games they’ve played away from home this campaign, they have just a single win to their name which was a shock victory away to title-chasing Inverness. On their travels, Dunfermline are conceding 1.72 goals per game and it’s difficult to see them keeping their first clean sheet in four games here.

Hosts to edge close encounter

We think the hosts should be winning here but don’t believe they’ll run away with it. As such, we’re siding with Raith Rovers to claim victory but for there to be fewer than four goals in the game overall.
