Ryan Thomson celebrates scoring against Cowdenbeath

When Dunfermline were the visitors at Central Park on the opening match of the 2012-13 league season Cowdenbeath unfurled the flag for winning last season`s Second Division championship.  Unfortunately for the home fans what followed equalled the Blue Brazil`s worst ever defeat at the hands of their near neighbours. The 4-0 result came courtesy of goals from Andy Barrowman, Josh Falkingham and a brace from Ryan Thomson.

Jim Jefferies at Central Park

Dunfermline`s league record against Cowdenbeath reveals 32 wins and 26 defeats with 14 draws. Recent form has certainly favoured the East End Park side - Cowdenbeath have waited since August 1977 for another home win over the Pars and haven`t defeated their neighbours since May 1993.  Some 533 minutes have gone by since Cowdenbeath last scored against Dunfermline and of the last 16 league meetings Dunfermline have won fourteen, but this is a local derby and everyone knows history and the form book can go out the window. That said Jim Jefferies has an impressive 100% record in Fife derbies.

Jordan McMillan v Cowdenbeath

League Form 

Cowdenbeath`s 4-1 win over Falkirk on Saturday was only their second in the league at home this season.  It was a long time coming after the August victory over Hamilton Accies and that explains their low league position. Dunfermline have lost three matches on the road this season - at Partick, Livingston and Morton and their away form had been better than their home form..

Josh Falkingham v Cowdenbeath

Cowdenbeath have lost only two of their last seven league games but prior to Saturday`s success their last league win was back on the first day of September. It all looked good back then as Colin Cameron`s side put together five successive wins but since then their only other success was an 8-1 Scottish Cup win over East of Scotland Premier Division side, Vale of Leithen. Dunfermline recorded a win at Hamilton on Saturday to stop the rot of three defeats in a row.
