Recent respective form guides

Albion Rovers's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Wee Rovers have scored 5, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

East Fife's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Fifers have hit 4 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Albion Rvs. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 27 points from 29 matches. East Fife see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 30 points from their 28 games played so far,
