Comparative Team Statistics: Partick vs Dunfermline

A fixture that rarely gets settled easily

These two have faced each other regularly down the years, and a good number of those meetings have finished level, including their most recent clash last month.

Results have swung both ways over the longer history, without either side ever really building a clear hold over the other.

Separated by a single point

There's barely anything between these two in the table. Partick sit top with 25 points from 13 games, Dunfermline third with 24 from the same number of matches.

Both have lost only one or two games all season, which tells you how even this division is right now.

What the trends suggest

Dunfermline's good run hasn't just come at home, either. Three of their last four wins have come on the road, which suggests the form isn't purely about friendly surroundings.

Partick, meanwhile, head into this off a difficult few weeks, including that home loss to Morton. If that dip continues, Dunfermline's momentum could make this a real contest despite the narrow gap separating the sides in the table.

A tightly poised table and diverging form lines point to a close, hard-to-call match.
