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 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Arbroath's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 3 have been let in at the wrong end.
East Fife are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 4 points from 2 games. Arbroath are leading the way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Two, with their 2 games giving them a return of 6 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Fifers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Red Lichties come away with an easy victory. Away win
