Recent respective form guides

Queen of the South's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Doonhamers have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Cowdenbeath's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Blue Brazil's have scored 10 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.

Queen of the South's 42 points from 32 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.

Cowdenbeath are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 31 points from 33 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Queen of the South at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the The Doonhamers will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
