Recent respective form guides

Partick Thistle's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Jags have scored 4, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Dunfermline A.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Pars have hit 6 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Partick Th. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 17 games have yielded only 6 points. Dunfermline A. find themselves in a respectable 4th position, courtesy of the 29 points they have accumulated from 17 games.
