Queen of the South form and stats
Queen of the South have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Championship, after 2-3-5 (10 played). We have seen quite the remarkable sequence of draws for Queen when travelling, as their previous four away games have all ended equal. Not since the Kilmarnock game has the points been given to a winner.
Queen of the South might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Dunfermline Athletic proved too strong as Queen of the South slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Palmerston Park.
Before that, Queen of the South travelled to Inverness CT and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Queen playing away, we found five games. Results were two away wins, zero draws and three home wins.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Queen of the South manager Johnston as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Partick Thistle.
The visiting Queen of the South have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 14 goals from 10 games.
