The Queen's Park squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Dunfermline Athletic, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  

It seems pretty certain that Sean Crighton will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

Queen's Park will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.  They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing at home this season, with 6 draws in 13 home league games.

Airdrieonians will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their home fixture against Greenock Morton.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.  

On an individual basis, Euan Henderson will be looking to cause Queen's Park some problems having scored 2 goals in Airdrieonians' last 6 away games in the league.
