📊 Form Guide

Raith Rovers
WWLLDW
Raith Rovers, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 2-0 Championship triumph against Dunfermline Athletic.
For Raith Rovers, the goals were scored by Finlay Pollock (22') and Paul Hanlon (56').
A recurring theme in more recent Raith Rovers games is the number of nil scores.
Taking their prior 6 matches leading up to this one, in 6 of them a wager on both teams scoring would have lost.
Dunfermline Athletic
DDLWLL
The trend of at least one team not managing to score in games involving Dunfermline Athletic has become evident of late. Looking at their last 6 meetings reveals that this has occurred 5 times. In those clashes, their opponents have managed a goal aggregate of 6 and Dunfermline Athletic have scored 2. Such a trend isn’t assured to follow through here, however.
Their past results show that Dunfermline Athletic:
- have not won against Raith Rovers when they have played them away from home in the previous 7 league games. Not good at all.
- are without an away win for the past 4 league matches.
🤜🤛 Head to head
Checking on their prior head to head meetings going back to 02/01/2024 shows us that Raith Rovers have won 4 of these games and Dunfermline Athletic 2, with the number of drawn games standing at 0.
15 goals were shared by the two clubs in these games, with 9 of them from The Rovers and 6 being from The Pars. The average goals per game has been 2.5.
The previous league match between the two was Championship match day 29 on 14/03/2025 when it ended Raith Rovers 2-0 Dunfermline Athletic.
🗞️ Team News: Raith Rovers
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the Raith Rovers boss Barry Robson to be concerned about from a near full-strength group of players. Callum Smith (Cruciate ligament surgery) won’t play.
🧠 Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Dunfermline Athletic will do well to break down this Raith Rovers team who we think will likely win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.
We therefore see a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 winning score for Raith Rovers at full-time.
Should be interesting.
