This Saturday is only the second league match between Dunfermline and Stenhousemuir at East End Park since September 1985.  There have been 81 meetings between these teams.  The Fifers have won 39, Stenhousemuir 22 and 20 matches have been drawn.

This season`s games between Dunfermline and Stenhousemuir have been thrilling affairs. The first fixtures back in August at Ochilview saw the Fifers come back from three goals down to win 5-4 scoring three goals in the last six minutes of the match.  In November`s home game Dunfermline came back from twice being behind to win 3-2 with a 92nd minute Allan Smith strike. That was followed up with a New Year fixture at Ochilview where yet again it was a late late show from the Pars. This time Stenny thought they had gained some retribution with an equaliser six minutes from full time only to suffer from a 91st minute winner from Andy Geggan that made it 2-1.

Kevin McKinlay leads the Stenny celebration

Their 4-1 over Forfar Athletic was Stenhousemuir`s first win of 2014. They did have a very creditable 3-3 draw against Rangers at Ibrox just two Saturdays ago but their Scottish Cup exit to Albion Rovers and defeats at Arbroath and Forfar and draws against Airdrieonians and East Fife have contributed to their slide out of the play off spots.

Dunfermline will be desperate to extinguish the memory of last Saturday`s fruitless trip to the far south west where Stranraer inflicted a 3-1 defeat on them. That was quite a set back given the string of three good league wins before that. The Pars have won both their last two home games by 3-0..
