Dunfermline Athletic

Preview Falkirk

Sunday, 13th Feb 2011

Tuesday

Admission: from £16 and £10 for concessions
Tickets from 26/12/10 still valid

Falkirk return to East End Park for the first time since the final match of the 2006-07 season. It is the first league meeting here in the First Division since the 2-2 draw in January 2000 but the Pars have not won full league points at home against Falkirk since Derek Laing`s winner on 9th October 1993.  That was eight league visits back but of course Dunfermline did beat Falkirk 2-0 in the League Cup in October 2002 courtesy of  a Stevie Crawford double.  The Pars have the upper hand in league meetings at East End, but only just.

Kenny Deuchars is kept out by Chris Smith

Fakirk v Dunfermline

Tuesday night`s match is another local derby and as always that means there`s plenty to play for but even more significant is that a win for Jim McIntyre`s team would also take them above the Rovers and top of the league. The Pars are currently five points ahead of the Bairns and the visitors will not want to see that advantage increased despite having one game in hand. There have been only three Dunfermline wins in the last dozen league meetings and five of the games have been defeats.

Pat Clarke v Falkirk

The Pars 1-0 win at the Falkirk Stadium on the opening day of the season came from a Pat Clarke goal and the Pars whose home form is good with no defeats this season will be looking to keep that going.
