History of the Queen of the South v Clyde fixture

Clyde face a trip to Queen of the South at Palmerston Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bully Wee will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2004, with Clyde inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the The Doonhamers in a Scottish Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Queen of the South's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Doonhamers have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Clyde's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in their last six, consisting of three wins and three draws. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the Bully Wee, and 6 goals against.

Queen o.t.S. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 3 points from 3 matches. Clyde are leading the way in the Bells Scottish Division One, with their 3 games giving them a return of 9 points.
