Raith Rovers prepare to entertain Airdrie United at Stark's Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 25 of the 71 previous games, with the Rovers winning just 24.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stark's Park was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Division One match.

Recent respective form guides
Raith Rovers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Rovers have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Airdrie Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the The Diamonds have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Raith Rovers find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 35 games have yielded only 16 points. Airdrie Utd.'s 47 points from 35 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Raith Rovers at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Rovers will at least gain a draw. Score draw
