Queen’s Park (home)
- Queen’s Park (7th) are tied with Raith Rovers (5th) on 36 points from 31 games so far in the Championship 2025/2026 season.
- Queen’s Park are unbeaten in their last two at home (1 win, 1 draw).
- Both teams operate a similar 4-2-3-1 set-up most of the time with Queen’s Park having a slightly more fluid 4-4-2, but their overall philosophies are quite different.
- Sean Crighton, who took over as Queen’s Park manager in May 2025, has brought a youthful, disciplined structure to the club, where his team remain compact and patient in their build-up while they press high or sit deep according to the situation.
- Queen’s Park’s structure and defensive block should keep it tight and the game might be closer than the odds indicate.
Raith Rovers (away)
- Raith Rovers are on a two-game winning streak.
- Raith Rovers, on the other hand, have enjoyed more success under Dougie Imrie, who has led the club since November 2025, preferring a fast-paced, width-filled, flexible system that can switch between a 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 at the drop of a hat.
- Raith’s away form has been a concern for most of the season, with them managing only two victories on the road in the Championship, six draws and seven defeats from 15 away matches, conceding 16 goals.

Raith have won two of their last three visits to Queen’s Park, including a 4-2 Challenge Cup win two months ago.
