We’re of the view that East Fife will probably stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
At the other end, Elgin City will be up against it to get a goal of their own but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be converting at least once as well.
We’re therefore anticipating a decent 3-1 win for East Fife at the end of the match.
