History of the Berwick Rangers v Raith Rovers fixture

Raith Rovers face a trip to Berwick Rangers at Shielfield Park on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 22 games played, Rovers have recorded 7 wins, and Berwick Rgrs. have come away with 8 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, the Borderers carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Berwick Rangers's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Borderers have scored 8, a worringly large 18 have been leaked at the other end.

Raith Rovers's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Rovers have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Berwick Rgrs. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 34 games have yielded only 16 points. Raith Rovers are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 57 points from 34 games.
