Recent respective form guides

Dunfermline Athletic could not have a worse home record, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While Pars have scored 6, a worringly large 19 have been leaked at the other end.

Cowdenbeath's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Blue Brazil have hit 6 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Dunfermline Athletic's 45 points from 33 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.

Cowdenbeath are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 33 points from 31 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Dunfermline Athletic at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the Pars will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
