Kelty Hearts will come into the match following on from a 0-2 League One win vs Peterhead in their previous outing.
For Kelty Hearts, the scorers were Lewis Moore (87') and Arran Pettifer (92').
The stats don’t lie, and Kelty Hearts have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 6 goals in total. At the back, Kelty Hearts have been far from perfect. We shall soon find out whether or not that trend can be continued on into this next match.

16 goals were scored between the two sides in these games, with 10 of them from The Doonhamers and 6 created by The Jambos. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.67.
The previous league encounter between these clubs was League One match day 32 on 04/04/2026 when it ended Kelty Hearts 1-1 Queen Of The South.
The referee was Josh Hay.
In an otherwise healthy group, there’s only the sole fitness issue for the Kelty Hearts boss Thomas O'Ware to contend with. 1 (Kelty Hearts ) won’t be playing here.
In our opinion, Queen Of The South will, in all likelihood, see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
However, Kelty Hearts will be up against it to score themselves but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here, too.
We can therefore see a pretty comfortable 3-1 margin for Queen Of The South come full-time.
Regarding the current betting odds in the 90 min. result market, backing Queen Of The South can be had for 1.57, a bet on a drawn result is 3.75 & betting on the win for Kelty Hearts gets 4.75. Those are the best returns being offered at the moment.
