Queen of the South
- Queen of the South are winless in all competitions but have scored in 4 of their last 5.
- Queen of the South have scored 7 goals in their last 5 matches with Nicky Clark contributing 3 of those.
- Nicky Clark took over the top job at Queen of the South on 25th May 2026 and has had plenty of time to shape his squad, but their opening match was a 5-1 defeat at East Kilbride and so they have a lot to prove in front of their own fans on Saturday.
Peterhead
- Peterhead have mixed form with 2 wins and 3 defeats but have managed to score in 3 of their last 5.
- Peterhead head into this matchup on the back of a 1-0 home defeat to Ross County, so they also need a result as they currently sit level on points with their opponents.
- Jordon Brown has been in charge of the visitors since 25th April 2023 and his familiarity with the squad and their identity has served them well.
Head-to-Head
- The last meeting in League One 2025/2026 was a 1-1 draw in Peterhead.
- There is little to split these sides across the head-to-head record, with the hosts winless in the last 2, Peterhead winning once and the other clash ending as a tie.
Key Players
Jack Stott has scored 1 goal in 1 League One 2026/2027 appearance so far and has a real eye for the finish, but Cole Coughlin has 1 assist in 1 match in the new campaign and can provide that creative spark for Queen of the South .
Betting Insights
- Queen of the South are favourites at 1.99, while Peterhead are 3.34 and the draw is 3.5.
- The one market I like is the Both Teams to Score market at 1.55, which is my main selection.
Prediction
The hosts have home field advantage and the momentum of a new manager can sometimes make a difference, so I am going with that slight favorite for the win.
