Recent respective form guides

Peterhead's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. The The Blue Toon's have scored 11 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 13.

Raith Rovers's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 4 have been let in at the wrong end.

Peterhead are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 28 points from 25 matches. Raith Rovers's total of 36 points from their 24 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Bells Scottish Division Two.
