After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Queen of the South and Alloa Athletic in this fresh Championship season. Read our match preview!
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.
Queen of the South form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Championship game of the season here at Palmerston Park. Last season these fans witnessed 4 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses from Queen of the South's 14 home games.
It's back home for Queen of the South, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Queen's Park away with the result 3-1. J. Maxwell, N. Joseph and E. East found the net in that victory. Before that, Queen of the South played out a Championship draw 1-1 when visiting Arbroath.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Queen handle that role? We have found five games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are three wins, one draw and one defeat.
At Palmerston Park, Queen of the South has the goal stats of 2-5 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Alloa Athletic form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Championship ended in defeat. Last season Alloa Athletic had these away match statistics: Played 14; won 3, drew 6 and lost 5.
Alloa go into this game after a win, the home game against Stenhousemuir that ended 4-2. A 3-3 draw was the result before that, hosting Dundee in the Championship.
What a finish in the last match, as Alloa came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through S. Hetherington's goal in the 90th minute. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Alloa, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? It's hard not to mention L. Buchanan's lethal finishing against Stenhousemuir. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.
Alloa Athletic are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, one draw and three defeats. From a total of nine matches.
The schedule is very tough for Alloa Athletic now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Hearts is waiting in only three days.
It's early days yet, but Alloa Athletic has scored 0 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Queen victories, three draws and five Alloa Athletic wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
