Our feeling is that Arbroath will need to put in a solid display to find the net against this Raith Rovers side who we think should score at least once to put them ahead.

We’re therefore anticipating a narrow 0-1 winning score for Raith Rovers at the end of the match.

Should be an interesting one.
