Partick Thistle form and stats

It's the first season at a new level for Partick as they were promoted from League One last season. Happy days that were secured through 9 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses from 18 games. The team scored 16 goals at home last season and conceded 7. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.

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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won four times, drawn three and lost three.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Partick friendly games in pre-season: Partick Thistle played three friendlies, won 2, drew 0 and lost 1. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Partick Thistle scored 5 goals and conceded 4 in these three games.
