Dunfermline Athletic

Preview Forfar Athletic

Saturday, 16th Aug 2014

Dunfermline Athletic return to Station Park on Saturday to face Forfar Athletic and its a venue and an opposition that Dunfermline have struggled with of late.

In December last season the Pars snatched a late equaliser to avoid defeat to Forfar at East End Park and the other home game in 2013-2014 ended in a 0-0 draw. The Pars had failed to win at Station Park since September 1995 until they registered a 4-2 win there in February. The game in October last season saw Forfar inflict their best ever win over the Pars.
