Dunfermline
- Dunfermline are unbeaten in three home games in Championship 2026-2027 (W2, D1), scoring four goals.
- John McGlynn's team sit fifth in Championship 2026/2027 with 13 points from eight games while Partick Thistle are third with 18 points from nine games.
- Partick are in the better form with three wins, one draw and one defeat from their last five in all competitions while Dunfermline have won only two of their last five (D2, L1).
Partick Thistle
- Partick Thistle are on a two-game winning streak following their 3-0 home win against Arbroath and 2-1 away win at Livingston (0-0 draw with Raith Rovers at home prior to that).
- The Jags are the slightly shorter-priced team at 2.44 and should be ridden through the odds-on mark in a bid to ensure they take maximum return.
- Thistle are set to start in the same formation that won at Livingston last weekend, with Mark Wilson's side pressing at a high tempo and playing their soccer at a fast pace.
Head-to-Head
Dunfermline have not won either of their last two home games against Thistle so there is a recent edge to the Jags that will make them hard to shake.
Key Players
- Neil Lennon's men are drilled in their structure, set-piece discipline and making fast, vertical transitions, which they can do with the skill of Josh Cooper to finish things off.
- The Pars' top scorer in 2026/2027 has three goals in seven games and netted three of their last five goals.
- Seb Drozd leads the way for the Jags in the Championship 2026/2027 with two goals in seven, but he has three assists in their last five, while Ben Stanway has added two goals in that run.
