Partick Thistle form and stats

Three draws in a row here at The Energy Check Stadium for Partick, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

No payout for Partick in their previous match, an away game at Clyde that ended in defeat 0-1. Preceding that game was the away draw at Queen of the South (after extra-time, 2-3 on penalties) that finished 0-0.

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 Partick Thistle have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost four.

Last season, Partick Thistle's league statistics were 6 wins, 8 draws and 13 losses, resulting in a 10th position in the Championship. Over these 27 matches they scored 32 goals and conceded 47. Playing at home last season Partick Thistle managed 2-4-7 (win-draw-lost) with 13 goals and 22 conceded.
