Peterhead prepare to entertain Raith Rovers at Balmoor Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the The Blue Toon have drawn one game and lost the other.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Balmoor Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its a close one to call, but I think that The Blue Toon's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Raith Rovers. Home Win
