Raith Rovers

vs

Stenhousemuir

Preview

Raith Rovers

• Dougie Imrie has worked with Raith Rovers since November 2025 and in that time he has moulded a side that is generally set up in either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 shape.
• The hosts have a ball-playing midfield which can probe teams and bring others onto the front foot before hitting them on the counter.
• Raith Rovers are unbeaten at home in all current competitions, with 5 wins and only 6 goals conceded from 5 home games.

Stenhousemuir

• Stenhousemuir are unbeaten in their last 5 away matches across all current competitions, with 4 wins and 1 draw.
• Stenhousemuir look set up to be a more direct and reactive side under Marvin Bartley, who took over in June 2026.
• They have 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat across their last 10 in all competitions.
• Their previous two games both went to penalties, with Stenhousemuir holding their nerve after a 2-2 draw at Partick Thistle and a 0-0 stalemate at home to FC Livingston in League Cup Group E 2026, so they can certainly dig deep when needed.

Betting Insights

• Raith are the narrow favourites for this Championship 2026-2027 clash at 1.65, with Stenhousemuir at 5.25 and the draw priced at 3.5.
• However, the most probable score prediction for this game looks more like a home victory or a low-scoring draw, which would make it a tough selection at 1.67 in the under 2.5 goals bet and around the same in BTTS-No at 1.7.

Prediction

• So the market is firmly on the home side to take the points at Stark's Park, Scotland and that seems the most likely result.
• Raith will probably have more of the ball in this match, but Stenhousemuir's compact set-up and willingness to counter could make it a cagey affair rather than an exciting shootout.
