Dunfermline A. face a trip to Aberdeen at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Pars will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 30 and win only 8 of the 49 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Premier match.
