Dunfermline Athletic vs Partick Thistle: match statistics
Partick Thistle displays significantly better form, sitting 2nd in the table with an impressive 13 wins this season, while Dunfermline Athletic is 7th with just 8 victories. The visitors are in excellent shape, averaging 2.6 points per game in their last 5 outings and remaining unbeaten, in contrast to the hosts' inconsistent form (1.4 PPG). Partick Thistle statistically dominates away games, averaging 14.67 shots and 4.67 shots on target per match, outperforming Dunfermline's home metrics. Higher xG for the visitors (1.73 vs 1.45) and superior possession (55% vs 50%) further tip the scales in their favor.
