Recent respective form guides

Queen of the South's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. A generous 10 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Morton's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 leaked at the wrong end.

Queen o.t.S. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 32 points from 26 matches. Morton's 35 points from 26 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Queen o.t.S. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the The Doonhamers will at least gain a draw. Score draw
