Queen of South vs Kelty Hearts Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

Kelty Hearts bring some phenomenal form into this fixture, having secured 11 victories in their last 16 League One matches, including five in a row recently. The picture has been a very different one as far as Queen of South are concerned of late, with a run of seven defeats in nine games doing little to boost their survival chances in what threatens to be a hard-fought battle.

Six of the last eight Queen of South home games in the League One have served up under 2.5 goals, so the Queen of South have not brought much excitement which will end up ending disappointed. For their part, Kelty Hearts are renowned for keeping things tight, with seven of their previous ten away fixtures in the top-flight producing no more than a couple of goals.

At least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 11 of the most recent 16 Queen of South matches on their own patch in the League One, so thrills and spills have been few and far between. Given that seven of the previous ten Kelty Hearts away games at this level have followed the same pattern, any deviation from this script would come as a shock.
