Since a losing effort in their last game against Dunfermline Athletic in Championship competition, Queen's Park will be aiming to make amends here.
Chris Kane (69') scored for Dunfermline Athletic.
The strike force from Queen's Park have suffered from a lack of goals over their previous six encounters, contributing the unsatisfactory return of just 1. In those matches, The Spiders have also seen the overall goal aggregate against them equal 20. Letโs see if that trend will be continued on in this game.
