Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Partick Thistle & Spartans face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
The visiting Spartans played their last game only three days ago, a League Cup match. That game was also an away game, at Peterhead. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Partick Thistle form and stats
Last season their League Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.10 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Partick Thistle have to build on here at The Energy Check Stadium in the Championship.
The home club members witnessed a 2-2 draw against Falkirk in the League Cup last time out and are hoping for a win here.
Before that game, a nice away victory at Dundee United. A League Cup match.

Spartans form and stats
Two away matches in a row for Spartans, whose boss Samuel could celebrate last time after the League Cup win against Peterhead.
