McBookie Odds: East Fife v Forfar Athletic
[Friday, 24 January 2014 23:19]
After a spirited performance against Rangers, Forfar will be looking to get back to winning ways against East Fife on Saturday. McBookie.com make the Loons the 5/4 favourites to pick up three points, with the draw 13/5 and East Fife the 21/10 outsiders.
Forfar have already played East Fife four times this season, and won every game, so you have to fancy an away win. Dale Hilson and Chris Templeman have been the most prolific in those games, and look the best bet to get on the score sheet. Templeman is 5/1 for the first goal, whilst Hilson can be backed at 6/1. They are 11/8 and 17/10 respectively, just to grab a goal. At a bigger price, Martyn Fotheringham may be worth a bet, at 16/1. The midfielder has been in great form in recent weeks and has got three goals in six starts.
The last time the teams met at Bayview, Forfar ran out 3-1 winners. A similar score line can be backed at 17/1, whilst 2-0, the last score at Station Park, is 13/1
