Recent respective form guides

Dunfermline Athletic have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Pars have scored 7, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Dunfermline A. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 19 points from 29 matches. Aberdeen see themselves just below half way in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier, showing a record of 38 points from their 28 games played so far,
