Raith Rovers vs Cove Rangers: Top Free Betting Tips

Cove Rangers desperately needs three points to distance themselves from the relegation area when they play the next game against Raith Rovers on Saturday, 18 March. Both teams have conceded successive defeats in the league ahead of this game.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: No

Two of the last three meetings between these sides have ended without BTTS patterns where the Rovers kept both clean sheets. Cove Rangers have also failed to hit the target in three of the previous five attempts. In opposition, Raith Rovers have missed the target only once at home in all duels since the start of October. Since the hosts have confidence in the clean sheet of the previous hosting attempt, we predict only the Rovers to be able to get on the score sheet in this game.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Raith Rovers’ front line has struggled in recent attempts but the hosts have hit the target eight times in the last five hosting duels. However, Cove Rangers have been effortless in this regard as they have rattled the net only three in the last five away outings. Moreover, the  Rovers also clipped Ayr United to a goalless draw in the last home duel. Two of the last four H2Hs of the teams have ended with low-scoring totals and following the present situation, we expect the same in this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to Raith Rovers

Raith Rovers have hit the target more than once in three of the last five home meetings. In opposition, Cove Rangers have been terrible on the defensive end as they allowed 12 goals in the last five away outings, conceding multiple in three of them. The Rovers have also rattled the net six times in the previous three meetings against the Toonsers. Hence, we predict a 2-0 victory for the hosts in this game.
