Recent respective form guides

Airdrie United need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Diamonds have scored 6, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Dunfermline Athletic's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Pars have hit 8 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Airdrie United find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 26 games have yielded only 18 points.

Dunfermline Athletic's 39 points from 26 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 4th position.
