History of the Raith Rovers v Queen of the South fixture

Queen o.t.S. face a trip to Raith Rovers at Stark's Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Doonhamers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 24 and win only 11 of the 45 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, with Queen o.t.S. inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Rovers in a Scottish Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Raith Rovers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Rovers have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Queen o.t.S.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the The Doonhamers have hit 7 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Raith Rovers find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 23 games have yielded only 10 points. Queen o.t.S. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 29 points from 22 matches.
