Queen of the South form and stats

1-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Queen of the South so far this season.

Queen lost their last game at Ayr United (placed 6th) after a 1-2 scoreline.

The manager A. Johnston will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Hamilton Academical in only three days.
