Match Preview:
It’s a top of the table clash at Stark’s Park this weekend, as first placed Airdrie take on second place Raith Rovers.
The Lanarkshire club have been in superb form of late, winning their last five league games as they became the latest side to hit the summit of League One.
The Diamonds have scored 15 goals in that run, with Callum Gallagher and Dale Carrick both in fearsome goal scoring streaks.
Ian Murray’s men also boast the best away record in the division, picking up 18 of their 29 points on the road.
This will be the two sides second meeting of the season, with Rovers coming out on top the last time they met back in September, when a goal from Grant Anderson was enough to seal the points.
Rovers do have a stellar record against Airdrie, going 15 games without defeat against them, with the last loss coming way back in 2011, when goals from Derek Holmes and Ryan Donnelly sealed a 2-0 win for Airdrie in the League Cup.
Since then, Rovers have won 11 and drawn four of the 15 meetings.
Saturday’s match referee will be Greg Aitken.
