Preview

The Scottish Premiership is off for its winter break but there is still plenty of domestic action on Sunday.

Things are tight at the top of the Championship and league-leaders Arbroath take on second-placed Inverness in what should be an entertaining contest at Gayfield Park.

However, in terms of punting the Fife derby looks the place to play. Raith have lost just two of their last 17 matches in all completions and they have been strong at Stark's Park this term.

Rovers have lost only one Championship match on their own patch and they face a Dunfermline side who have been woeful on the road.

The Pars have won only one away league game and it's just two wins in 23 matches for John Hughes's men.

That is an awful run and Dunfermline are putting up the worst expected-goals numbers away from home in the league.

At 5-6 Raith look good value to win and keep the pressure on the sides above them.

Partick should prove too strong for bottom club Morton but there isn't much juice in the prices. The Jags have conceded just six times in nine home league matches and Morton have notched only seven times on their travels. Backing Ian McCall's side to win to nil might be the way to go.
