Clyde's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Bully Wee have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Dunfermline A.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Pars, and 7 goals against.

Clyde find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 6 games have yielded only 4 points. Dunfermline A. see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division One, showing a record of 6 points from their 6 games played so far,
