Arbroath vs Raith Rovers: Top Free Betting Tips

Raith Rovers have raised a long unbeaten pattern and face the challenge of Arbroath in the next Scottish Championship fixture on Saturday, 4 February. The Red Lichties enter the game after ending their winless pattern with a victory over Morton.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

The Red Lichties have been involved in consecutive defeats at home previously but they have managed to get on the score sheet in five of the last six hosting duels. However, the team has a different pattern in defence and kept zero clean sheets in those meetings. Raith Rovers have also not missed the target in any of the previous nine attempts in different competitions. Three of the last four H2Hs have witnessed BTTS patterns and we expect the same in this game.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

Arbroath has found the back of the net ten times in the last five league outings and Raith Rovers collected a total of eight goals in the same course. But the Red Lichties have been terrible on the defensive end and conceded 15 goals in just the previous four attempts at home. Two of the last four meetings between these teams have also ended with high-scoring totals. Based on the current forms, we expect the sides to feature a total of at least three goals in this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-2 to Raith Rovers

Arbroath has scored only one goal per game in five of the previous six home duels. On the defensive end, the team has allowed at least twice in all of the previous four hosting games. On the other hand, Raith Rovers have hit the target twice in each of the last three attempts. The Rovers have allowed only five goals in the recent five games, keeping two clean sheets as well. So we see the visitors taking a 1-2 lead in this game.
