FootyMad's prediction ...

Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Queen o.t.S., and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. Score draw

Sequence statistics:
Queen o.t.S. No sequences of note
Partick Th. Lost each of the previous 3 away matches.
Not won in previous 3 away matches.
Last drawn game 9 outings ago.


Queens still have Quinn and Knight both suspended but manager Chisolm will have a strong squad to pick from. With a hint that the top four may be promoted to a resonstructed SPL next season there is everything to play for so this should be a tight match.
