Queen's Park form and stats

The seven points Queen's Park have gathered from their first three away trips in the League Two is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Queen's have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of five victories in a row regardless of arena. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Queen's are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Queen's are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the League Two against Stenhousemuir (placed 6th). Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Brechin City.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Queen's as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Queen's are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 0 goals away.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Cowdenbeath won five, Queen's Park won two and three draws. one game with over 2,5 goals, nine matches with two goals or less.
