Queen of the South
- Queen of the South are winless in two at home (D1, L1), while Peterhead are unbeaten in five (W1, D4).
- Murphy’s men have been solidly consistent this term, although they’ve gone off the boil slightly of late, with just one win from their last five league outings (D2, L2).
- They’ve lost their last two matches, a 1-2 home defeat to Alloa Athletic and a 3-2 away loss at Montrose.
Peterhead
- Peterhead aren’t as fluent in terms of their general play, but Jordon Brown has done a great job since taking charge in April 2023, instilling a high-energy style on the side that can be direct and pressing when required.
- They’re unbeaten in their last five, although they’ve also been hard to beat throughout this campaign.
Head-to-Head
Queen of the South have won three of the last four H2H meetings (D1), with Peterhead not winning on either of their last two trips to Dumfries.
Key Players
- Kai Kennedy has been their driving force this term, notching eight times in 26 league games, scoring five of the Doonhamers’ last 11 goals.
- Kieran Shanks has been a revelation up top for the Blue Toon, scoring 11 times in 24 league appearances, including three in his last four.
Betting Insights
The bookmakers have the Doonhamers as the favorites at 1.73 , with the visitors priced at 4.12 .
Prediction
Both of these sides possess differing playing styles and it should make for an open match, so I’ll be taking a chance on the Over 2.5 goals bet at the same price as the home side.
