Recent respective form guides

Raith Rovers's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. Rovers have conceded a disappointing 12 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Queen o.t.S.'s away form is none too clever either, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the The Doonhamers, and 8 goals against.

Raith Rovers find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 7 games have yielded only 1 points. Queen o.t.S.'s 10 points from 7 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 4th position.
