Match Preview

Blue Brazil bring back O`Brien Cowdenbeath welcome defender Thomas O'Brien back into their squad after a thigh strain for the visit of Arbroath. Blue Brazil boss Colin Cameron is hoping the storms that have been battering Scotland will have died down before kick-off He said: "Both Arbroath and ourselves like to pass the ball along the ground and this game should be a great advert for the Second Division. "It would be great if the wind stays away and a lot of fans can turn up for what should be a great contest. "The boys showed desire last week when they can back from a goal down three times at Albion Rovers and we will need that same level of desire in this game." Arbroath player-manager Paul Sheerin has ruled himself out of the top-of-the-table clash. Sheerin has a knee injury but striker Jordan Elfverson is available after an ankle knock. Sheerin said: "I am afraid it will be a shirt and tie day for me which is disappointing as this would have been a great game to play in. "Both sides will be going all out for a win and Stenhousemuir will be sitting back hoping for a draw. "There was little between Cowdenbeath and ourselves at our place when we drew and I expect there will be little between us again, but it would be a fantastic game to win in terms of our mentality going in to the rest of the season."

Match Report

Top two in timid tie The Scottish Division Two's top two played out a goaless draw as Cowdenbeath and Arbroath struggled in difficult conditions. There were only a handful of shots as neither goalkeeper had a save to make until the last five minutes on a pitch which passed a late inspection. Josh Falkingham had three long-range efforts for Arbroath that all missed the target while Marc McKenzie had two similar pot-shots for Cowdenbeath. The only save of the match came with three minutes to go, as Kieran McAnespie got his head on the end of a Gavin Swankie free-kick, but Thomas Flynn punched away in the Cowdenbeath goal. The close-range header was the closest the match came to a goal, as both sides seemed more than happy to settle for a point in a dour affair.
