Recent respective form guides

Raith Rovers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Rovers have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Clyde's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the Bully Wee, and 4 goals against.

Raith Rovers are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 20 points from 23 matches. Clyde are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 46 points from 22 games.
