East Fife vs Spartans Prediction & Betting Tips (30 January)

Although results have picked up a bit recently, the fact that East Fife have recorded just two victories in their previous 10 top-flight home fixtures, losing on five occasions, goes a long way towards explaining why they find themselves locked in a difficult battle. As for title-chasing Spartans, they have triumphed four times in five trips at this level of late.

Somewhat incredibly, Spartans have been involved in 13 consecutive top-flight fixtures containing over 2.5 goals, with the League Two outscoring their opponents by 43 goals to 10 during this sequence. Given that nine of the last ten East Fife games at this level have followed suit, a minimum of three goals are expected when the teams meet.

Spartans may not have secured as many points as they might have wanted on their top-flight travels so far, but they have certainly delivered plenty of entertainment, with both teams on target in four of their five trips. What’s more, five of their most recent seven League Two meetings with East Fife have served up goals at both ends.
