FootyMad's prediction ...
Queen o.t.S. are starting to turn Palmerston Park into a fortress, but the quality of opposition for this game makes your FootyMad panel believe the teams will share the spoils on this occasion. Score draw
| Sequence statistics: | |
| Queen o.t.S. | 5 games since last home draw. Not drawn a match in their last 3 . |
| Ross County | Undefeated in last 3 away games. Drawn each of the last 2 games. No win in the 3 most recent games. |
The Highlanders should provide a stern test for the Doonhamers and it should be a cracking match. Queens will have late fitness tests on Johnston,McGuffie and Quinn but should have Reid back after suspension. Skipper Lilley will however be mssing due to suspension after his red card at Cowdenbeath.
Queens have been scorling freely of late against inferior opposition but County will be a different propostion. We must take most of the chances coming our way and if we do so a handsome win is possible.
Queens MAD are going for a narrow win in front of hopefully a bigger crowd than on Wednesday against Forfar which was the lowest for nine years.
