Raith Rovers vs Airdrie

This game reminds me of another cup s clash between the teams of Ayr United and Brechin City (played 10 days ago ):
-Odds around 2. 00
- Almost equal teams…
The only difference is that Ayr is one division up than Brechin..

We saw Ayr winning reasonably at @2. 00 but tonight I do believe that Raith Rovers won’t give their supporters a reason for joy.

At the moment Airdire is struggling with just 2 wins this season scoring 19goals… Their place in the division is seriously threatened as both Ayr and Morton looks more stable at the moment.

Raith Rovers are 3 places above Airdire with 5 wins more… Raith are still in the battle for top 3 as the second placed – Ross County have just 9 points more than them.

It was Queens of the South which Airdire trashed in the previous round of FA Cup 4-0 !!!
So may be Airdrie takes this cup seriously. If they could smash the Queens why they should be priced at @4. 70 to get pass over Rovers?!

Airdire also managed to win over Dundee away from home !

What is more the H2H stats is in favor of Airdrie:
15/12/2009 Raith Rovers vs. Airdrie 1:1
30/04/2008 Raith Rovers vs. Airdrie 0:2
15/03/2008 Raith Rovers vs. Airdrie 1:0
20/10/2007 Raith Rovers vs. Airdrie 2:1
08/08/2006 Raith Rovers vs. Airdrie 1:2
07/05/2005 Raith Rovers vs. Airdrie 0:1
18/12/2004 Raith Rovers vs. Airdrie 0:2
18/01/2003 Raith Rovers vs. Airdrie 1:0
14/09/2002 Raith Rovers vs. Airdrie 0:0

Raith welcome back defender Dougie Hill. Strike duo Kevin Smith and Jonny Russell could also start tonight.
Airdrie news : Bobby Donnelly is available. Defenders Tom Parratt, Ryan McCann and Mark Smyth are included in Kenny Black's squad along with midfielder Scott McLaughlin and striker Scott Gemmill.
Raith Rovers are everything but favorites to win this game IMO.
I will go with the visitors here!

Bet: Airdrie or draw
