Raith Rovers prepare to entertain St. Johnstone at Stark's Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 11 of the 34 previous games, with the Rovers winning just 7.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stark's Park was less than a year ago, in April 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division One match.

Recent respective form guides
Raith Rovers's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Rovers have scored 5, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Saints's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 5 goals for and 4 against.
Raith Rovers find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 11 games have yielded only 2 points. St. Johnstone see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division One, showing a record of 14 points from their 11 games played so far,
