Dundee form and stats
5-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Dundee so far this season.
Dundee's previous fixture was a Challenge Cup game also played at their home, ending 4-2 against Dunfermline Athletic. The home team hope to to build on that result.
In the match before, 0-0 away to St. Mirren (Scottish Cup). The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Dundee have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 1 and lost 3.
13 goals have been conceded.
Queen's Park form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (44) in Championship, on their Championship travels is 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
The Queen's Park goalkeeper Calum Ferrie is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 270 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Inverness CT (placed 6th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 0-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Queen's manager Coyle as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Inverness CT.
