Recent respective form guides

Dunfermline Athletic's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Pars's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Kilmarnock's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Killie have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Dunfermline A. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 8 points from 16 matches. Kilmarnock's 23 points from 16 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
