Preview Queen of the South
Wednesday, 18th Nov 2009The Pars record against the Dumfries men is fairly good winning as many matches as they lose and draw. There have been 62 league meetings between the clubs with the Fifers having won half of them.
After the disappointment of the late postponement of the scheduled fixture a week past Saturday the Pars travel to Dumfries again to meet the league leaders on Tuesday night. The Doonhamers have registered clean sheets in their last four league matches and should they succeed in keeping Macca`s men out they will set a club record. Having conceded four to Airdrie in the Scottish Cup on Saturday their confidence will have taken a dent.
