Dundee manager James McPake tells BBC Scotland: "We've had the chance to iron a few niggles out.
"We've worked hard, but I don't think the time we've had off will make a difference.
"Raith play very attractive football but we are here for a positive result. We wanted to be here and we are aiming for promotion. We are four games away from that."

It's very difficult to tell who will go through to the final. The results this season show you that there shouldn't be a great deal between them, but Dundee will carry a bit of momentum into this with the form they're in

Hopefully we get an open game, both teams have good attacking players, but you imagine it'll be cagey at times

Raith Rovers v Dundee (19:45)
Just two points separated the sides in the final league standings, as Dundee leapfrogged Raith on the last day to finish second, and the three Championship meetings resulted in four points for each club.
Frankie Musonda's late equaliser earned a 1-1 draw for John McGlynn's men at Dens Park in October, and that was followed by an impressive 3-1 win at Stark's Park in late January.
