Edinburgh City won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 3-1 League Two defeat last time out to Spartans.
Brogan Walls (17') and Cammy Russell (52') scored for Spartans.
Over their past 6 games, Michael McIndoe's Edinburgh City have managed to score a combined total of 6 times, with that being an average number of goals per match equal to 1.
East Fife will go into this match following on from a 2-0 League Two win to defeat Elgin City in their last outing.
A series of outstanding displays by the East Fife defensive unit has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their previous 6 clashes overall. During the same time, their own attack force has managed to score 10.
The previous league match featuring the two was League Two match day 30 on 22/03/2025 when it finished Edinburgh City 5-2 East Fife.
The referee was Alastair Grieve.
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Edinburgh City gaffer Michael McIndoe to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. 3 (Edinburgh City ) is out of contention.
Owing to an otherwise available squad, there is only the lone fitness problem for the East Fife gaffer Dick Campbell to be concerned about. 2 (East Fife) misses out for this game.
We feel that East Fife and Edinburgh City could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams.
A draw is a real possibility, as we are expecting there to be little between them. That’s why we have predicted a tight encounter with a 1-1 draw at the end of the 90 minutes.
Checking on the latest odds for this match on the 90 min. result market, a win for Edinburgh City is best priced at 2.4, backing the game finishing all-square is 3.2 and selecting victory for East Fife can be had at 2.6. They’re the best of the returns on offer as of now.
