This could be an interesting match as Queen of the South have their presumed home advantage while Raith Rovers are ahead 6 points in the Championship table.
- Queen of the South haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Raith Rovers have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 6-8-3 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches.

It looked so good for Rovers vs Arbroath, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
