History of the Queen of the South v St. Johnstone fixture

Queen o.t.S. prepare to entertain St. Johnstone at Palmerston Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 9 of the 24 previous games, with the The Doonhamers winning just 4.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Palmerston Park was less than a year ago, in May 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Queen of the South's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Doonhamers have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 leaked at the wrong end.

Queen o.t.S.'s 16 points from 9 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 4th position. St. Johnstone are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 10 points from 9 matches.

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. No-score draw
