Dunfermline A. prepare to entertain Heart Of Midlothian at East End Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 24 of the 52 previous games, with the Pars winning just 16.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at East End Park was less than a year ago, in March 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.
