Raith Rovers prepare to entertain Queen of the South at Stark's Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rovers are clearly on top, having won 24 and lost only 10 of the 44 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stark's Park was less than a year ago, in March 2004, with Raith Rovers running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Scottish Division One match.

Recent respective form guides
Raith Rovers's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. Rovers have conceded a disappointing 12 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, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the The Doonhamers, and 8 goals against.
Raith Rovers find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 7 games have yielded only 1 points. Queen o.t.S.'s 10 points from 7 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 4th position.

Nothing seems to be going right for the Rovers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Doonhamers come away with an easy victory. Away win
