East Fife vs Dunfermline Prediction & Betting Tips (7 September)

Dunfermline have found the going tough on their travels recently, with each of their previous five top-flight fixtures ending in defeat by a single-goal margin. East Fife’s star has been shining somewhat more brightly on their own patch of late, however, as they have enjoyed five victories in seven home matches, including a success win during their past 5 games.

Dunfermline don’t tend to be involved in too many thrillers, with under 3.5 goals being the order of the day in 18 of their previous 20 matches at the top table of the Challenge Cup. This is definitely something that East Fife can relate to, as 11 of their last 12 games at this level have also served up three goals or fewer, so any deviation from this script would come as a shock.

Over the course of their last 17 fixtures in the Challenge Cup, East Fife have been involved in just four encounters in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes. Although Dunfermline cannot quite match these levels of consistency, at least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet in 12 of their previous 19 third-tier games.
