It’s been seldom in recent games that Dunfermline Athletic have shown defensive steel. In fact, Dunfermline Athletic have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 10 goals along the way. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, however.

There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Dunfermline Athletic boss Neil Lennon to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Aston Oxborough (Hand injury) won’t play.
Due to a mostly available group of players, there’s just the lone fitness worry for the Cove Rangers gaffer Paul Hartley to be concerned with. 1 (Cove Rangers) won’t be in action.
In our opinion, Cove Rangers are capable enough to put a goal past this Dunfermline Athletic side, but it is unlikely to be as many as they’ll concede.
Our selection here is for a very close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Dunfermline Athletic by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
