Partick Thistle
- The Jags are the hottest team in Scotland right now and will surely make this game tough for second-bottom Greenock Morton at Firhill.
- Partick have 25 points from 12 games and top the Championship 2026/2027 table.
- Mark Wilson took charge of Thistle in May 2025 and appears to have hit upon the perfect formula for the Jags to get out of the Championship in his second crack at the job.
-
The Jags' last 3 results - 1-0 win away at Ayr United, 1-1 draw at Dunfermline Athletic and 3-0 home win over Stenhousemuir - read like a promotion push.
- 1-0 win away at Ayr United.
- 1-1 draw at Dunfermline Athletic.
- 3-0 home win over Stenhousemuir.
Greenock Morton
- Greenock Morton have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 games but have won back-to-back fixtures.
- Ian Murray has made the Ton more compact and tough to break down since he took charge in January 2026.
- They are more direct now with an emphasis on crosses, second balls and set pieces that should trouble Partick in the second half of the game.
- Dean Black has scored 1 goal in 3 Championship 2026/2027 games to top Morton's scoring charts, but Michael Garrity has been their sharpest finisher recently with 2 of the club's last 4 goals.
Head-to-Head
- The Jags have beaten Morton 1-0 away from home in the Championship 2026-2027 two months ago.
- The Jags have won three of the past five meetings between these two clubs, drawing the other two, and Morton are without a victory in that spell.
- The Ton haven't won at this ground in their last two visits.
Key Players
- Seb Drozd is a key Jags threat and has 2 goals in 7 Championship 2026-2027 appearances and 3 assists in their last 5.
- Tony Watt has 2 goals in their 6 from the last 5 fixtures and gives Wilson an extra finishing punch.
- Dean Black has scored 1 goal in 3 Championship 2026/2027 games to top Morton's scoring charts.
- Michael Garrity has been their sharpest finisher recently with 2 of the club's last 4 goals.
Betting Insights
- Backing the hosts in the result markets is a bit tricky at 1.14, so we have decided to add a 'both teams to score no' safety net at 1.72.
- Morton have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their 5 away games in the Championship 2026-2027, scoring just 4 goals on their travels at an average of 0.80 per game.
- The Jags are undefeated in their last 6 home games in the division with 4 wins and 2 draws and have not conceded a goal in that sequence.
Prediction
- A home win is the expected outcome, but the odds on both teams to score no are also tempting and the 1.72 price looks a bit good for this clash to be a long affair.
- Given Partick's current form, their unbeaten home run and Morton's modest away scoring, backing the hosts with the both teams to score no cover looks sensible.
