Partick Thistle

vs

Queen's Park

Preview

Head-to-Head

• There have been two head-to-head meetings that ended level in the Championship 2025/2026 season, most recently here at Firhill Stadium 3 months ago.
• Queen's Park are yet to win either of their last 2 Championship away games against Partick Thistle.

Partick Thistle

• Partick Thistle have won 1 and lost 0 of their 1 Championship 2026/2027 home match to date, scoring 2 goals.
• The hosts should have the edge here given that they sit 3rd in the Championship 2026/2027 with 7 points from 3 games, while the visitors sit 10th and are yet to pick up a point.
• Partick drew 1-1 in a Championship away game to Inverness Caledonian Thistle before losing 1-0 to Hibernian in the League Cup.

Queen's Park

• Queen's Park have suffered three straight defeats to Livingston, Raith Rovers and Stenhousemuir, with their goals suddenly drying up.
• Sean Crighton took over Queen's Park on 15 May 2025 and he sets up to press hard and play at pace on the break, so this could become a battle of turnover if he gets his pressing style working.

Key Players

• Partick have looked organised under Mark Wilson, who has had the Jags setting up in a 4-1-4-1 / 4-1-3-2 shape where they try to control the midfield and pick their moments to burst forward.
• Robbie Crawford is the spark in these moments and leads their Championship 2026/2027 scoring with 1 goal in 3 games.
• Euan Murray is Queen's Park's most creative player, leading the Spiders' Championship 2026/2027 assists table with 1 from 3 games.
• Ross McLean is the Spiders' most reliable finisher with 1 goal from 3 Championship appearances.

Betting Insights

• So, the odds of 1.29 do nothing to attract for a Partick win, but there is a bit of value in the draw at 4.8.
• 8.6 about Queen's Park is a very tempting odds for an away win.

Prediction

• We are going to go with the home side to pass the test here, but the odds are short enough that we will add under 2.5 goals to the bet to get a better price.
• The Jags should win this contest, but Queen's Park are not so bad that we can be confident that they will be blown away.
