Dunfermline Athletic

Preview Cowdenbeath

Wednesday, 24th Nov 2010

This match has now been postponed three times and a re-scheduled date for the fixture is awaited.

Willie Gibson v Cowdenbeath

It was February 1993 when Cowdenbeath last hosted a league match against their local rivals, Dunfermline.  The Central Park club took only 13 points from their 44 matches that season and one of the three games that Cowdenbeath won was at East End Park after they had already been relegated.

Cowdenbeath's  First Division return has been more successful than many would have predicted; Jimmy Nic's team have taken 16 points from 13 matches. Dunfermline are ten points better off but still trail leaders Rovers by a point.

Cowdenbeath have won only one of their last seven matches and were disappointed to lose the Second Division, Peterhead in the Third Round of the Scottish Cup last Saturday. At home their recent form has been good with only Raith Rovers of the last five visitors leaving with full points. Dunfermline haven't won on the road since they went to Partick Thistle at the end of September.
