Match Preview
After a hard fought point against Greenock Morton in midweek, Raith Rovers have the chance to go top of the table on Friday evening, when they travel to Gayfield to take on Arbroath.
That 0-0 draw at Stark’s Park, coupled with Dundee United’s home loss to Airdrieonians, meant Rovers moved level on points with United, with Jim Goodwin’s side now only top on goal difference.
Friday’s opponents go into this one on the back of a punishing 6-0 defeat to Queen’s Park at Hampden on Tuesday night, a result which left them bottom of the table, seven points behind Inverness, and nine behind eighth placed Dunfermline Athletic.
Despite Arbroath’s difficult campaign, both the clubs prior meetings this season have been tight affairs.
The first was at Gayfield in December, when Aidan Connolly handed Rovers a first half lead, but were reliant on a Lewis Vaughan winner, deep into injury time to seal a 2-1 win, after Jermain Hylton equalised from the penalty spot.
The return fixture at Stark’s Park was even closer, and spectacular, with Dylan Easton and Jack Hamilton firing Ian Murray’s men two up, before goals from substitute keeper slash emergency forward, Ali Adams and Leighton McIntosh earned the Red Lichties a point.
A win on Friday would take Raith three points clear at the top of the table, with Dundee United in action against Partick Thistle at Firhill the next day.
Tomorrow’s match referee will be Grant Irvine.
Head-To-Head Record:
Arbroath wins: 34
Raith Rovers wins: 49
Draws: 23
