Fifth-placed Dunfermline host sixth-placed Greenock Morton in a contest that already carries playoff implications. The Oracle expects a chess match shaped by Dunfermline’s disciplined home approach and Morton’s growing away resilience.</p> <h3>Form and Momentum</h3> <p>Dunfermline have steadied after a wobble, unbeaten in two and rescuing a late draw against leaders St Johnstone. Away from home they’ve flashed attacking upside, but at East End Park their profile is conservative: just 1.14 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per home game, with 71% of matches finishing under 2.5 goals.</p> <p>Morton bring renewed confidence. They’ve banked two straight clean-sheet wins, including a commanding 3-0 at Ross County. Over the last eight, Morton’s points-per-game has climbed to 1.50, up 25% on season baseline. Crucially, they are excellent away from Cappielow at avoiding defeat, drawing 62% of their trips and conceding just 0.88 per away match.</p> <h3>Tactical Matchup</h3> <p>Dunfermline under James McPake typically prefer structure and direct moments rather than helter-skelter exchanges. The Pars frequently score first at home but own a worrying lead-defending rate of 40%, inviting late pressure. Morton under Dougie Imrie have traveled well, compact between the lines and purposeful on the break. Their away equalizing rate sits at a league-beating 75%, and their scoring skew to the second half (70% of away goals) makes them dangerous late.</p> <h3>Key Players</h3> <ul> <li>Dunfermline: Andy Tod’s timing in the box and Barney Stewart’s movement have delivered recent goals. Chris Kane’s link play helps them establish territory, while Matty Todd injects running power from midfield.</li> <li>Morton: Michael Garrity and Nathan Shaw arrive into scoring positions from wide/half-space channels, with Cameron Blues’ energy vital in transitions. If Eamonn Brophy is involved, he adds penalty-box nous and set-piece threat.</li> </ul> <h3>Patterns and Goal Timing</h3> <p>Expect a slow burn. Morton have yet to score in the first 15 of away games, but they’ve produced five goals in the last quarter-hour on the road. Dunfermline’s home matches rarely explode; their BTTS rate is just 29% at East End Park. Yet, the specific Morton away pattern is striking: four 1-1 draws already on their travels, the most common away scoreline by far.</p> <h3>Weather and Conditions</h3> <p>Typical November Fife weather—chilly, damp, and likely slick—should compress the game. That usually benefits the side more comfortable without the ball and favors lower totals. Expect more territory and set-pieces than fluid combination play.</p> <h3>Market View and Value</h3> <p>Books shade Dunfermline at home (around 1.94), but the under-the-hood numbers point to Morton avoiding defeat more often than the market implies. Double chance (Morton or Draw) at 1.80 is The Oracle’s headline value. Totals lean under; 1.50 on under 2.5 reflects reality but still pairs well in parlays or as a risk anchor.</p> <p>For price hunters, the draw at 3.10 is live given Morton’s 62% away draw rate. The 1-1 correct score at 5.25 captures the modal outcome and dovetails with under/BTTS-leaning opinions. Another smart angle: second half to be the highest scoring half at 2.15, supported by Morton’s heavy late scoring distribution.</p> <h3>Verdict</h3> <p>This profiles as a narrow, tactical clash decided by moments rather than sustained dominance. Dunfermline’s home solidity meets a Morton side that travel well, equalize often, and finish strong. The Oracle’s card: Morton or Draw, Under 2.5, second half higher scoring, with the draw—and specifically 1-1—the value pivot.</p> </body> </html>
