Recent respective form guides

Raith Rovers's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Rovers have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

St. Mirren's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.

Raith Rovers find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 6 games have yielded only 1 points. St. Mirren are leading the way in the Bells Scottish Division One, with their 6 games giving them a return of 14 points.
