Raith Rovers prepare to entertain Falkirk at Stark's Park on Saturday evening, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 68 games played, Rovers have recorded 30 wins, and Falkirk have come away with 25 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stark's Park was less than a year ago, in January 2004, with Raith Rovers running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Scottish Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Raith Rovers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Rovers have scored 6, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Falkirk's away form is none too clever either, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. The Bairns's have scored 10 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.

Raith Rovers find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 12 games have yielded only 5 points. Falkirk are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 27 points from 12 games.

Nothing seems to be going right for the Rovers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Bairns come away with an easy victory. Away win
