We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Queen's Park form and stats
Queen's Park are steadily winning Championship games and points here at Ochilview Park. 7 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 11 games. After failing to beat Dundee here at Ochilview Park, Queen's Park has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
In their previous game, the manager Coyle led his Queen's Park to a defeat away at Greenock Morton. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Ochilview Park.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Ayr United in a game that was won 2-0.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 Queen's Park have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.
Queen's have conceded 12 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

The followers enjoyed Raith Rovers's previous fixture versus Motherwell, a Scottish Cup win (3-1) played at home.
Preceding that, 2-2 away against Dundee (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) in the Challenge Cup. We have checked recent matches where Raith Rovers have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were 3 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats.
