Queen's Park vs Inverness: Prediction & Preview

Form guide

Queen's Park enter this Scottish Championship match in 10th place with 4 points from 9 games. Their record is 1 win, 1 draw and 7 defeats, and they have scored only 4 goals while conceding 15. At home, they have taken 1 win and 3 losses from 4 matches, which reflects a difficult start to the season.

Their recent league form is poor, with four straight defeats before a 2-1 home win over Greenock Morton. Since then, they have lost 2-0 away to Dunfermline Athletic, 0-2 at home to Ayr United, 1-2 away to Arbroath and 2-0 away to Raith Rovers.

Inverness are 5th on 13 points after 9 matches. They have won 3, drawn 4 and lost 2, with 11 goals scored and 9 conceded. Their away record is steady rather than dominant: 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat from 4 games.

The visitors arrive with better momentum. Their last five league results are 2-0 against Stenhousemuir, 2-0 against Greenock Morton, 2-2 at Livingston, 3-1 at Ayr United and 0-2 at home to Raith Rovers. That gives them three wins, one draw and one loss across the five-match sample.

This is a prediction, not a certainty. The main risk is Queen's Park’s low scoring record, which makes a home goal less reliable even if Inverness carry the stronger overall form.
