Appearing in 3 different competitions has a negative impact on East Fife who received a consecutive defeat recently. The condition was even more difficult because they receive Arbroath’s visit in the League 1 competition.

East Fife just received a visit from Dumbarton on Saturday (23/2) and had to give up dramatically 3-4 through Dom Thomas’s hat trick. The defeat was then fulfilled with Chris Kane’s red card on 77 minutes.

These results make East Fife not yet received a victory this month, precisely with 1 draw and 3 consecutive defeats. In fact, there is no compaction schedule this month with an average of one match per week.

Arbroath also just passed a dramatic party against the Airdrieonians, but they won 3-2 through the contribution of Bobby Linn’s action in the 43rd and 2th minutes of the penalty in the 59th and 63rd minutes.

The score ensured Arbroath had never suffered a defeat this month, starting with a 1-1 draw against Stranraer, then winning 0-1 at Raith Rovers’ headquarters.

East Fife, who was ranked 4th, tried to cut the distance of 5 points from Forfar on top, while Arbroath in an effort to increase the distance at the top of the standings with a difference of 16 points at this time.

Arbroath only won 1-0 when playing as hosts early last November after the last 2 visits to Bayview Stadium won 0-5 and 0-3.
