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 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Cowdenbeath's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Blue Brazil, and 7 goals against.

East Fife see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 3 points from their 3 games played so far, Cowdenbeath are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 6 points from 3 games.

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 Blue Brazil come away with an easy victory. Away win
