For this week’s tip, we turn our eyes towards the Scottish second league. The match in question is Forfar Athletic Vs East Fife, which will take place on 20/04/2024 at 14:00 GMT at the Station Park stadium at Forfar, Angus, Scotland. Now, let’s talk about each side and see how they are doing.
Forfar Athletic
Forfar Athletic Football Club is a Scottish semi-professional football club based in Forfar, Angus. They play in Scottish League Two and are known as “the Loons” or “Sky Blues” due to their younger players. The club shares a rivalry with local rivals such as Arbroath, Brechin City, Montrose, Dundee, Dundee United, St Johnstone, and Aberdeen. They also participate in the Scottish Cup, the League Cup, the Challenge Cup, and the Forfarshire Cup. The club’s nickname “Loons” comes from the fact that the second team was younger than the first team, leading to the nickname.
Right now they are down at 7th place in the league’s table. They have 36 points after 32 matches, 7 wins, 15 draws, and 10 losses, 33 goals scored and 36 suffered. In addition, they have only 2 wins in the last 10 matches they played in this tournament.
East Fife
East Fife Football Club, established in 1903, is a semi-professional football club that competes in Scottish League Two. The club has won the Scottish League Cup three times and is the most successful club in Fife in terms of major honors won. As one of four SPFL clubs in Fife, East Fife is the only one to bear the name of the area, alongside Dunfermline Athletic, Kelty Hearts, and Raith Rovers, all of whom have historically shared rivalries with the club.
They occupy the 5th position in the league’s table at the moment, with 44 points in 32 games. In addition, they have 11 wins, 11 draws, and 10 losses, 43 goals scored, and 38 suffered. Furthermore, they have 5 wins in their last 10 games played in the tournament.
Forfar Athletic Vs East Fife – Our Pick
The pick itself will have to wait until our update next week, as usual. However, we can take a look at some stats to know what to expect when the odds come. First of all, I believe an Over 1.5 bet is viable if the odds permit. This is because both teams average at least one goal per match considering the numbers. Secondly, both to score is a good option as well. Finally, if athe odds are good, East Life to win can be a good choice.
Update
A week has come and gone so it is time to see how both teams are doing before we make our pick. Position-wise, nothing much changed as Forfar Athletic is still at 7th place, and East Fife is still at 5th place in the league’s table. So, let’s take a look at how both teams did in their last matches on 13/04.
Starting with the home team, the Forfar had a 2-1 loss against 2nd placed Peterhead. Marking their 3rd loss in a row, which must be affecting the team’s morale. East Fife also had a loss, a 4-2 loss against the 8th-placed Bonnyrigg Rose. This broke a respectable run of 9 games without a loss.
Now, for our pick itself. Last week I mentioned that an Over 1.5 pick could be a good choice. Sadly the odds are too low for it to be profitable, at least at the moment. So, I will go with my second choice here and place a bet on Both to Score. The odds are much more acceptable for this option after all. Now it is time for you to go ahead and open an account at the best betting platform so you can secure your place among the winners! Good luck, good betting, and see you next time with another pick.
