History of the Raith Rovers v Dundee fixture

Dundee face a trip to Raith Rovers at Stark's Park on Wednesday evening, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 21 of the 55 previous games, with the hosts winning just 16.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Scottish Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Raith Rovers have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Rovers have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Dundee's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the The Dee have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Raith Rovers see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division One, showing a record of 35 points from their 31 games played so far, Dundee are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 58 points from 33 games.
