Both Teams to Score

Albion Rovers are expected to build on a 1-2 away win over Annan in round two to score in front of their fans in the first home game in the Scottish Cup. On the flip side, the visitors have scored 5 goals from three games, so despite losing in the third round, they have won this matchup thrice and drew against Albion once in the previous five meetings.
Over 2.5 Goals

With both teams expected to score and also noting that these teams have met once in the Scottish Cup in a match that yielded 6 goals, we think this will be a goal fest. The probability for Over 2.5 Goals is 64% given the odds of 1.57 at publishing time.
Albion Rovers to Score First
The final Albion vs Dunfermline prediction is on the team to score first. While Albion Rovers have had a better performance in the competition so far, we expect the hosts to play their best home game. It is the first home game for Albion Rovers, so there is a good chance they will open the scoring.
