It’s a tough game to call. On one hand you’ve East Fife in decent form well into their season and on the other you have Bohs, who haven’t even kicked off our season yet.
It will be very interesting to see how the new signings gel for Bohs, some huge losses in the off season but all faith in Keith and the team as he has proved each year with us we can rebuild.
My prediction for this is a scrappy game but I feel the players Bohs have brought in are of a decent standard so I think we can nick a 1-0 or 2-1 win and set the tone for a good start to 2019.
I am going with an optimistic 2-1 Bohs. This is one of the hardest games to predict, ever. I don’t know how the Scottish League One compares to the League of Ireland in terms of standard and quality. On top, they are in the middle of their season while this is subsequently a pre-season game for us and I haven’t seen our new team play yet.
I am going for a narrow win, however, as I am hoping for a big crowd at Dalymount that will cheer our boys on and them not taking the Irn Bru Cup too seriously as they have an important game the following week against Ross County C’mon Bohs!!! Mandriou MOTM 🙂
Considering East Fife are unbeaten in 10 games it’s hard to look past them Bohs have a lot of new faces to the team and have lost crucial players from last season like Dan Casey, Dan Kelly, Shane Supple and JJ Lunney. I think it’ll be a slow start for Bohs in terms of getting the players used to each other then we’ll put up a good fight but I think East Fife’s form will get the better of Bohs unfortunately.
Personally, I know it’s a competitive contest but due to the fact Bohs are still in the middle of pre-season and I don’t think they are ready for a competitive game of football just yet. We should nick an early goal and get tired near the end with Fife scoring late on. With Penalties it’s the luck of the draw but hopefully we get a bit of early season luck and take it in the penalty shootout.
East Fife have won 6 out of their last 7 games and have progressed to the 5th round of the Scottish Cup.
Bohs are unbeaten in pre-season, winning 1, drawing 2 and scoring 6 in the process.
Bohs are 1 of 2 non Scottish teams left in the cup, Connahs Quay of Wales remain in the competition.
East Fife come off the back of a 4-3 win over Stranraer, and are currently in a playoff place in League 1
New signing Scott Allardice is unavailable as he is Cup tied. The Scottish youth international lined out for Dundee Utd u20s early in the tournament.
Darragh Leahy is unlikely to feature. He hasn’t featured in preseason games yet.
Midfielder and East Fife’s top scores Scott Agnew is out due to a dislocated shoulder.
