To avoid any misunderstandings this is not the Queen’s Park Rangers from England. It’s the Scottish one based at Hampden Park in Glasgow. At this field, on March 11 at 15:00 GMT, they will play against Partick Thistle for the match that was originally scheduled for March 08 but got postponed due to the encounter for the Scottish Cup between the home team and Aberdeen. The prize on this one is a ticket for the 2025-2026 European Competitions.
Sixth vs fourth on equal terms
The visitors are now 4th on the table with 38 points, 10 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses and an equal balance of goals at 33-33. However, they haven’t won any of their last 5, counting 2 defeats and 3 ties. On the other hand, the hosts are 6th with9 victories, 6 draws and 12 defeats and an almost identical record of 32-31 goals in favor and against. In contrast with their opponents, they have won 1 of their last five.
In terms of hunting a better position, both sides are out of luck. Falkirk, Ayr and Livingston are 16 and 19 points ahead so there’s no chance of catching up to them. However, the 4th place does get a ticket for the European competitions and it’s the motivation for the home side to win.
We will go with the home field advantage
Despite the history between the two that provides the advantage to the visitors (the home side has not won since Nov 25, 2023), we believe that this time the home field and the current condition that the two teams are, may just justify the @2.35 as the price for the victory for the hosts, as opposed to the @2.98 for Partick Thistle. The draw is offered at @3.29. In fact, those are the only odds that can allow for a decent return of the investment. Hence, we will recommend the win for Queen’s Park to all punters that will go ahead and open an account at the best betting software.
