Recent respective form guides

East Fife's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Fifers have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Clyde's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Bully Wee have hit 7 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

East Fife see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Two, showing a record of 22 points from their 19 games played so far, Clyde find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 18 games have yielded only 15 points.
