Tough test for Montrose in League One 2025/2026 clash with Queens
There is no major rivalry between these two sides in League One 2025/2026 but both sides will be desperate to win on Saturday as it will have a major impact on their mid-table placing and momentum going into the final few games of the season. For those interested in the Montrose vs Queen of the South prediction, this game could play a crucial role in shaping both teams' campaigns.
The hosts Montrose are unbeaten in two matches, drawing 1-1 at home with Peterhead before securing a 2-2 away draw against Stenhousemuir.
Stewart Petrie has had an interesting tenure as manager of the club since December 2016 and the Gable Endies are known for being a pragmatic side, looking to get the ball wide, get it into the box quickly and transition into attack as soon as possible.
This is reflected in the 4-3-3 formation they prefer and their reliance on fullbacks to provide width. Callum Sandilands is the top scorer with 7 goals in 23 games but Taylor Sutherland has become a more regular threat in the last few games, netting 4 of the team's last 7 goals in the most recent 4 fixtures.
Queen of the South are a very different kind of team, with a much more ball-dominant approach, operating in a technical 4-3-3, pressing high, and dominating the midfield. Peter Murphy has been in charge since May 2024 and his team sits 3rd in the League One 2025/2026 table with 39 points from 25 games, compared to Montrose in 5th with 29 points from 23. Our Montrose vs Queen of the South preview suggests that this tactical contrast could prove vital in determining the outcome.
This is likely to be a chess match between the two sides. Montrose will be looking to transition the ball quickly and make chances from wide areas whereas Queens will look to control the game and force Montrose into defending their box, making the Montrose vs Queen of the South prediction particularly intriguing for fans and bettors alike.
The Doonhamers drew 1-1 away to Cove Rangers before a narrow 2-1 home defeat to Alloa Athletic in their most recent two fixtures.
Jack Stott is the main scoring threat for the visitors, scoring 6 goals in 24 League One 2025/2026 appearances this season.
With 2.93 for Montrose, 2.18 for Queens and 3.34 for the draw, Queens are the slight favorites. Montrose have been playing better recently, however, winning 1, drawing 3 and losing 1 of their last 5, factors that could influence the Montrose vs Queen of the South prediction.
Queen of the South have a better league position, the head-to-head record and are the favorite on Saturday so we believe that they will win a competitive match here.
Both Teams To Score is priced at 2.08 and, with the teams scoring an average of 2.0 and 1.0 goals respectively when these two face each other, we believe that both sides will have opportunities to score and the value lies in backing both teams to find the net - these odds should be kept in mind when looking at Montrose vs Queen of the South betting tips.
Montrose have drawn their last 2 games at home and Queen of the South have drawn their most recent away game. Both seem reluctant to lose at the moment but Montrose lack the cutting edge to win games and we think that Queens can nick it.
The hosts have lost 4 of the 5 League One 2025/2026 meetings between the sides, including a 1-0 defeat in the reverse fixture eight weeks ago.
