Match description
I back the home win (1). Cove Rangers hold advantages in form and defense: in the last 5 matches they have 3 wins and average 1.8 points per game, while East Fife have 1 win and average 1.0 point in the same period. Defensively the hosts concede 1.12 goals at home on average, compared to the visitors conceding 1.88 on the road; East Fife have shipped 59 goals this season versus Cove Rangers’ 44. In attack Cove score 1.00 goal at home with an xG of 1.24 and a conversion rate of 11%, versus East Fife’s 0.76 goals away and xG 1.15 (conversion 8%). Although Cove failed to score in 47% of home matches (East 41% on the road), the higher xG, better efficiency and the visitors’ much worse away record (away goal difference -19) favor the home victory.
