Queen's Park
LLLLDD ๐
Queen's Park will play in this fixture coming off the back of a 2-2 Championship drawn match vs Ayr United.
For Queen's Park, the goalscorers were Seb Drozd (22') and Roddy MacGregor (31'). Jamie Murphy (16') and Mark McKenzie (54') scored for Ayr United.
An interesting theme in recent Queen's Park games is the number of results with a nil in them.
From their prior six matches leading up to this one, in 5 of them a bet on BTTS would've been a losing one. Such a pattern might not follow through into this game, though.
Going into this contest, Queen's Park havenโt won at home in the past 7 matches in the league. That's never good.
Raith Rovers
DWWDWD ๐
In their previous game, Raith Rovers drew 1-1 in the Championship match with Greenock Morton.
The only name on the scoresheet from Raith Rovers was Josh Mullin (38'). Grant Gillespie (28') scored for Greenock Morton.
Over the course of their last six clashes, Raith Rovers have bagged the sum of 12 goals. Raith Rovers have also scored in every single one of those games. Over that period, their defenders have had 6 goals go into their own net.
Leading up to this clash, Raith Rovers:
- remain unbeaten by Queen's Park in away games against them for the last 4 league matches. A very good run of results for them.
- are unbeaten in their last 5 league matches away from home.

Team News: Raith Rovers
Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there is only the lone fitness issue for the Raith Rovers boss Barry Robson to be concerned with. Callum Smith (Cruciate ligament surgery) wonโt be playing here.

Prediction
We envisage that Queen's Park should be able to breach the defence of this Raith Rovers team, although one goal likely wonโt be enough to avoid defeat.
Weโre therefore tipping a 1-2 win for Raith Rovers at the end of the match. It should be a decent one.
