Greenock Morton form and stats
Greenock Morton have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Championship. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
A strong away win for Greenock against Dunfermline Athletic the last match, as J. McAlister and C. McGuffie were on target. Preceding that match was a defeat to Hearts (0-2).
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of D. Hopkin when C. McGuffie scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 76th minute.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Greenock has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Greenock Morton have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Queen of the South form and stats
As the visiting team in Championship matches, Queen of the South, who have the most conceded goals (20) in Championship, have produced an overall stat of 0-1-3 so far.
There might be some fixture complaints from Queen as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Championship match against Hearts (1-6). A loss against Inverness CT was the result prior to that, in a home game.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Hearts was particularly ugly (1-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Queen are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, six draws and five defeats. From a total of twelve matches.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Queen have scored 5 goals in 4 league games away. There are big problems for the Queen of the South defense as they have conceded 12 goals in 4 away games.
