A Sports Betting Preview by ArmchairPunter

East Fife v Cove Rangers
Football : Scotland: League One
Venue: Bayview Stadium

---

East Fife will be desperate to avoid a third defeat on the trot in all competitions when they play host to the Scottish League One basement dwellers Cove Rangers when the two sides clash at Bayview Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Recent defeats to Clyde away from home in the Scottish Challenge Cup and last Saturday’s heavy 4-1 loss away from home at Inverness CT in the league are expected to produce a much improved performance this Saturday against their struggling visitors.

East Fife had previously put together a promising eight-match unbeaten run across all competitions which included home wins in League one against Kelty Hearts and Queen of the South.

Cove Rangers sit bottom of the Scottish League One table with just two points to their name thanks to picking up points in draws with Montrose and Hamilton Academical but having also slipped to six defeats within their opening eight league matches, the visitors look to have another tough job on their hands this Saturday.

Cove Rangers bring a six-match winless run in all competitions into this upcoming encounter at Bayview Stadium on Saturday afternoon which includes defeats to Inverness CT, Alloa Athletic and Kelty Hearts in the Scottish third tier, so confidence is not in abundance ahead of this outing.

With a poor away record which stands at 0-1-3 2/6 so far this season, Paul Hartley’s side look to have their work cut out here.

The Betting Verdict

Both East Fife and Cove Rangers have struggled for results in recent times but East Fife look the more likely to claim the three points in this one.
