Rivals looking to get three points
League position and recent meetings
Airdrieonians FC sit just above the bottom of the standings in ninth place in the Championship table, having accrued just 30 points from 32 games in 2025-2026. They lost the most recent head-to-head, with Partick winning 1-0 at home seven weeks ago, and have failed to win any of their last three meetings with Partick, who now sit second in the table on 63 points from 33 matches, firmly in the promotion race.
Home form and managerial approach
Aaron Taylor-Sinclair has instilled a more defensive and pragmatic style at the Excelsior Stadium since taking charge in October 2025, and his team have largely struggled to get results since, particularly at home. The Diamonds have won just two of their 15 home Championship fixtures this term, conceding 19 goals in the process.
Partick's recent form
Partick, on the other hand, have been in great shape recently. Mark Wilson has led the Jags to three wins and no losses in their last five, after taking charge in May 2025. His team play an attacking brand of soccer, pressing opponents relentlessly and flooding wide areas to create and finish chances. Airdrieonians' recent highlight was a 4-0 away win over Ross County, but they've since suffered heavy defeats to Raith Rovers and St. Johnstone.
Back Partick to win
With Partick in great form and showing far greater attacking prowess than Airdrieonians in recent weeks, we’re backing the visitors to take the three points on Saturday.
The odds on Partick to take the win are quite short at 1.78, but they’ve won five, drawn seven and lost just four of their 16 away Championship matches this season, scoring 21 goals away from home.
With Airdrieonians often setting up in a deep defensive block and counter-attacking on the break, and Partick thriving on pressing and playing at pace, we should see some tactical fireworks. The Jags have scored 21 away goals this season, and Airdrie have conceded 19 at their own ground, so ‘Both Teams to Score - Yes’ and ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ also look promising at 1.67 and 1.8, respectively.
- Partick’s Alex Samuel has hit nine goals in 30 Championship appearances, and has three goals in his last five for the Jags.
- Aidan Fitzpatrick has provided the creativity for Partick, however, with three assists in their last five.
- Euan Henderson leads the way for Airdrie with nine goals in 32 Championship games, while Adam Devine has chipped in with two goals in their last five - nearly half of their total output.
