- Queen's Park are the clear favourites at 67/100, with Kelty Hearts 19/5 and the draw 53/20.
- Kelty Hearts have won three of their last five fixtures.
- Queen's Park have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five matches.
This is a Kelty Hearts resurgence
Kelty Hearts have hit their stride in 2026, following up a 2-0 away win at Peterhead with a gutsy 1-1 away draw at Queen of the South to claim the spoils in a shootout in League Cup Group A 2026.
Tam O'Ware has kept Kelty compact in a 4-3-3, using their wingers to create width and getting numbers behind the ball at pace to counter-attack, and Queen's Park's 6-0 League Cup thrashing of Kelty last season means the visitors have an extra psychological edge to lean on.
Cammy Cooper has been Kelty's spark in attack, scoring two of his team's six goals in the last five games.
Sparking Queen’s Park
Queen's Park have been a bag of mixed results of late, with the Glasgow club drawing 1-1 away at Partick Thistle in the Championship before comfortably brushing Brora Rangers aside in a 3-1 home win in League Cup Group A 2026.
Sean Crighton has his team playing a possession-heavy game with a press-first mentality, trying to dictate the midfield and get his full-backs forward in an inverted fashion. Michael Ruth is their danger man, having scored two of their four goals in the past five matches.
Queens Park to hold the advantage
Queen's Park have avoided defeat in their last two away matches, drawing both games and proving tough to beat on the road. They're in mixed form going into this game.
Kelty Hearts have won and lost one of their last two home games, and although the fortress is being built, I think this one looks closer than the market suggests. I'll side with the goals and both teams to score - Over 2.5 goals and BTTS - Yes at 91/100 and 22/25, respectively. I think Queen's Park nick this one by the skin of their teeth though, so the away side is my correct score prediction.
