Greenock Morton
- Greenock Morton have had a tough season, and they head into this Friday’s meeting with Partick Thistle in eighth in the Championship 2025-2026 table with just 30 points from 28 matches.
- Since Ian Murray took over in January 2026, Morton have transitioned to a more pragmatic, defensive mindset, with a compact shape, selective pressing and rapid counterattacks the order of the day.
- This tactical switch has yet to yield consistent results, with the Ton losing their last three matches in all competitions.
Partick Thistle
- Partick Thistle have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five games.
- Partick are on a much better run and they travel to Cappielow in second in the Championship 2025/2026 with 49 points from their 27 matches played so far.
- Mark Wilson has made a fine job of things at the Thistle since he took over in May 2025 and his structured, possession-based style of football has seen them remain high in the Championship standings.
- Partick Thistle have scored 1.23 and conceded 1.54 goals per game in away Championship 2025/2026 fixtures.
Head-to-Head
The visitors have the better form, the better league position, and the advantage in the recent head-to-head, with two wins and three draws between these sides in their last five meetings.
Key Players
Eamonn Brophy leads the scoring for the Ton with six goals in 21 Championship 2025/2026 appearances, while Partick have an in-form Logan Chalmers top-scoring with eight in 27 .
Betting Insights
- However, we do think both teams can get on the scoresheet in this one, with odds of 1.83 around this outcome looking generous.
- There could be goals at either end when these two teams clash, as Morton’s counter-attacking game plan clashes with Thistle’s possession-based approach, so the odds of 2.0 for over 2.5 goals look favorable too.
Prediction
Ben Stanway has added three to Thistle’s tally in their recent five-game spell, however, and he is our choice for an anytime goal .
