Queen o.t.S. prepare to entertain St. Johnstone at Palmerston Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 12 of the 32 previous games, with the The Doonhamers winning just 8.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Palmerston Park was less than a year ago, in February 2008, with Queen o.t.S. running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Scottish Division One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its a close one to call, but I think that The Doonhamers's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past St. Johnstone. Home Win
