Forfar head to East Fife this weekend knowing that the game has almost zero significance for their hosts, but significant implications and motivations for themselves. If Forfar win, they will ensure 2nd place in the division, and therefore a slightly better situation heading into the play-offs.

Form wise Forfar haven't been the best of travelers this season, but more generally they have now recorded seven wins and two draws in their last 12 matches and have kept three consecutive clean sheets. East Fife have been horrific - losing nine of their last 15, and winning just once in that run since January. With the side now safe, but unable to improve their position, they surely won't have that extra 10% left in the tank.

Staying in League One, Raith have exactly the same opportunity ahead of them, and need to win to give themselves a chance to leapfrog Forfar in the event that their rivals slip up. They go to Montrose, who are expected to rest players given they cannot improve their position and will now just be focused on preparations for the knock-out phase.
It's fair to say Raith have dropped off from their best standards, and it's also possible they will rest some men, but over the course of the season they have been 27 goals better than Montrose - a seismic gap by all measures. Lately that have achieved a 12-match 5-4-3 record, while Montrose have gone 6-0-6.
