Queens MAD Prediiction
Queens will have been disappointed dropping points at Methil but we expect them to bounce back and record a handsome victory against a struggling Albion Rovers team. We continue to make plenty of chances and once Clark and Riley have more luck in front goal teams are going to suffer.
We think that Albion will struggle on Saturday and Queens will take full advantage and consolidate their position near the top of SFL2.
