Arbroath vs East Fife – Match Preview
Match Day 29 – Ladbrokes League One – Season 2018 / 2019
Saturday 16th March 2019, Gayfield Park, Arbroath, 3.00pm kick off
Arbroath welcome Darren Young’s East Fife to Gayfield tomorrow for our 29th league game of the season.
The two sides just met only 2.5 weeks ago at Methil in a 1-1 draw with Darren Jamieson also saving a late penalty.
East Fife have been playing midweeks games for the last 3 Tuesdays after their excellent cup run(s) meant some league games were postponed.
The Lichties will have to be focused and switched on until the final whistle as East Fife have become masters of the late goal.
The Fifers scored in the 92nd minute against Stenhousemuir to secure a draw and also netted in the 89th and 93rd minute against Stranraer to make it 2-1 and then 3-1 to secure the points.
Arbroath will be given a huge boost with the return of Michael McKenna from his one match suspension as injuries also start to clear with Manager Dick Campbell hoping to have a full squad at his disposal.
There are 8 huge games remaining and we would love to have a loud vocal support getting right behind the team tomorrow.
