Dunfermline will line up in their usual 4-4-2, with Morrison and Rudden leading the line and Tod pulling the strings just behind. They'll look to get the ball wide early, stretch Raith's back line, and feed off second balls in the box. Raith, under Imrie, are expected to set up in a 4-2-3-1, with a double pivot shielding the defence and Oakley as the lone striker. That shape is designed to frustrate — they'll sit in a mid-block, force Dunfermline wide, and hit on the break through the half-space runners. The midfield dogfight will be key. Dunfermline's 4-4-2 can get overrun in the middle if Raith's two holding midfielders plus the number ten get on the ball. But Raith's low block can also invite pressure, and if Dunfermline get an early goal, the game opens up. Expect a tight, scrappy affair with set-pieces playing a big part.
