This Saturday, it’s 3^rd vs 8^th as we return to the Home of the Set Arena to face Dunfermline Athletic as we now get back to league action.

Both teams come into this game from two perspectives after the weekends cup action. We secured a home win against Cove Rangers to progress to the quarter final of the Scottish Cup. Dunfermline Athletic suffered a 3-0 away defeat to Aberdeen in the same competition. We turn our focus to league action this weekend.

We have been on a good run of form of late winning 5 out of our last 5 games and have managed to overcome some tough opponents and now we are at home as we face the same opponent twice in 9 days. We are looking to maintain our strong home form after last weekend’s 3-0 win over Cove Rangers.

Dunfermline Athletic come into this game after an away defeat, with 3 losses and 2 wins in their last five games. They have scored 6 goals in their last 5 games but have conceded 9 goals within those 5 games. A key player for Dunfermline will be Chris Kane who bagged a hattrick in their last league match.

A player who has been impressive recently and won the Player of the Month is Robbie Fraser, he has put in strong performances since joining us last month on loan from Rangers. He will be looking to continue his form against Dunfermline. Another key player is Tete Yengi who secured a double at the weekend after coming on as a second half substitute, making it 3 goals in his last 2 games.

In the last five meetings between the two sides, we’ve had the upper hand, with us winning 3 games and losing 2. Our previous fixture against Dunfermline Athletic saw us win 2-0 in the SPFL Trust Trophy Semi Final.  We are currently ranked 3^rd home in the Championship, and we have scored 13 goals in our last 5 matches so we will be looking to maintain that goalscoring run.
