Two teams desperate for a victory meet at Central Park tonight, with hosts Cowdenbeath looking to get away from the play-off place and visitors Morton trying to keep their thin hopes of avoiding the drop alive.
Neither side is in good form Jimmy Nicholl’s men haven’t won in their last four games, and Morton have lost their last four.
Nicholl said: “It has been a disappointing run and we cannot allow teams to get any further ahead of us.
“The players have to go about their jobs properly and better than they did at Queen of the South on Saturday where mistakes cost us goals at bad times.
“We enjoyed a really good February but March has not been so kind. Hopefully we can turn that around by seeing off Morton and then doing the same to Hamilton on Saturday.
“Both games are at home and if we can pick up six points then we have got ourselves all but clear of one threat and getting close to dragging other teams into another.”
Kane Hemmings will not be available, as he remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. On-loan Partick Thistle defender Darren Brownlie, who missed out on the 2-1 defeat at Palmerston, is a doubt.
James Fowler plays the last game of his loan from Kilmarnock and Nicholl added: “We will miss James after he leaves tonight but Kilmarnock have Sammy Clingan injured and need him in their squad.
“Hopefully he can leave us on a high by playing his part in a win.”
Morton boss Kenny Shiels said: “We have to win, it is as simple as that. Draws are no use to us. The attacking part of our game was good at the weekend but we need to be better defensively.
“I wanted us to be heading to Cowdenbeath having put pressure on them with a win. However, it never happened but we are still as determined to win.
“Picking up three points gives us fresh hope that we can get off bottom place.
“We have shown that we can score goals. Now, if we add a bit of defensive steel to that, we have a chance.”
Ben Sampayo and Reece Hands are out for the Cappielow side, with Darren Cole struggling with a groin injury.
