Raith Rovers Preview – Can Raith hold onto 2nd spot?
A narrow 1-0 home win over Morton on the weekend in the Scottish Championship handed Raith Rovers a valuable three points and also ended a worrying run of four matches without a win in the Scottish second tier as they look to hold onto 2nd spot.
With no chance of catching up to runaway league leaders, Hearts, who are 13 points ahead of them, Raith will now have to ensure that they finish in second place in order to receive the best possible passage in the promotion play-offs and with a reasonable home record of 5-2-3 17/11 so far, the hosts stand a decent chance of adding to their points tally here.
Raith have lost just one of their last five matches at Stark’s Park and have also picked up recent wins over Dundee, Alloa Athletic and Morton, while also being unbeaten in their last three meetings at home to Dunfermline, winning two of these three encounters.
Dunfermline Preview – Can Dunfermline consolidate?
It’s perhaps slightly worrying times for Tuesday’s visitors, Dunfermline Athletic, as they currently occupy the last play-off spot in the Scottish Championship but they’ve lost three of their last four matches overall and their position in the play-offs is under threat from the likes of Inverness CT and Queen of the South.
Recent defeats to Queen of the South, Inverness CT and Dundee have allowed their rivals for the top four catch up and they’re both now level on points with Dunfermline ahead of these vital midweek fixtures in the Scottish second tier.
The biggest concern though for the visitors is their poor record away from home which stands at a disappointing 1-5-4 12/14 with their only highlight on the road to date being a 4-1 win at Alloa, but they’ve since slumped to four defeats on the trot on their travels.
