Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There's 80% chance of Raith Rovers and Dunfermline 3 goals or less combined during this Championship game according to our predictive algorithm and, in the absense of a strong favourite in the WDW market, we think that's a great tip here. Calculations are made based on latest form, historical head-to-head (H2H) statistics and the view of the betting market, and you can back it at 1.14.
