Queen of the South hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 19 points and a 7th position in the Championship table. Visiting Arbroath holds 6th place with 22 pts.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Arbroath have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 7-2-5 (win-draw-loss) from 14 matches.
