Recent respective form guides

Raith Rovers's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 in the wrong end.

Livingston's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Livi, and 7 goals against.

Raith Rovers find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 15 games have yielded only 15 points.

Livingston's 19 points from 15 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
