Partick Thistle are welcoming Queen of the South for another important game after their 3-1 result against 3rd-placed Inverness CT.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Queen of the South's home stadium. The visitors last 35 games on grass have ended in 13 wins, 7 draws and 15 losses.

Partick Thistle form and stats

Partick Thistle have played three Championship home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Game days at The Energy Check Stadium have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Partick Thistle as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Happy days for Partick Thistle in their previous game, a Championship match away at Inverness CT (placed 3rd) that ended with a 3-1 victory. A League Cup defeat was the result before that one, 0-5 away at Celtic.

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 Partick Thistle have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won 1 time, drawn 1 and lost 3.

Partick Thistle are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 attempts. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Partick Thistle having conceded 8 goals here at The Energy Check Stadium so far.

Queen of the South form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Championship for Queen of the South, who have the fewest scored goals (3) in Championship, with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Queen of the South has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Queen of the South delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Dundee (placed 4th) in their previous match; a Championship game. Prior to that match, the Queen of the South manager A. Johnston faced defeat when travelling to Inverness CT and losing 0-2.

We have checked recent matches where Queen of the South have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were W1-D4-L4.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Queen of the South's away games in the league this season with only 0 goals from 3 matches. As opposed to that, Queen of the South have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 6 wins for Partick Thistle, 2 draws and 2 wins for Queen of the South. Over 2,5 goals: 5 times; under 2,5 goals: 5 games.
