- Raith Rovers have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five matches in all competitions

Raith aim to reverse recent results against Queen’s Park
Our Raith Rovers vs Queen's Park prediction reflects how Raith Rovers boss Dougie Imrie has begun to put his own stamp on the team since taking over as manager in late November 2025 and has so far been able to build upon the solid foundations put in place by former boss Ian Murray.
Imrie has a different approach to Murray and seems to be trying to build a high-tempo, pressing style that will allow his side to overwhelm opponents with energy and pace in transition. Raith have won just one of their last three home games, however, highlighting their inconsistency at Stark’s Park this season (Won 4, Drawn 2, Lost 5 in the Championship 2025/2026).
Dylan Easton is Raith’s key player and the former Edinburgh City man leads the team’s goalscoring ranks with eight in 22 appearances in the Championship 2025/2026. Easton has been involved in two of his team’s last four goals and could be key to a return to winning ways for Raith on Saturday.
Queen’s Park have been in solid form in recent weeks and have gone five games unbeaten with back-to-back 2-0 wins over Forfar Athletic, either side of a 0-0 away draw with Stranraer in the Scottish FA Cup. This Raith Rovers vs Queen's Park preview highlights how Sean Crighton has worked wonders at Queen’s Park since he took charge in May 2025, instilling a pragmatic approach that sets up a compact block and gives opportunities for his young charges to develop in a disciplined set up.
Queen’s Park are a tough nut to crack
Queen’s Park beat Raith Rovers 2-1 at home in the Championship 2025/2026 two months ago, however, this Raith Rovers vs Queen's Park prediction suggests that the hosts will be determined to reverse that result in this fixture which could prove pivotal in the battle for the Championship mid-table.
Raith Rovers are favorites at 1.5 for this match, with Queen’s Park sitting at 6.25. This price seems a bit high for a side who have won two of their 10 away games in the Championship 2025/2026, drawing four and losing four.
If you're looking for Raith Rovers vs Queen's Park betting tips, note that Queen’s Park are hard to play against and will try to frustrate their hosts on Saturday. With Raith keen to make a change after their 2-3 home defeat to Arbroath and 1-0 cup loss to Aberdeen FC, the visitors should be able to stay in the game with some disciplined defending and selective pressing.
Josh Fowler has been Queen’s Park’s biggest threat this season, scoring 10 goals in just 15 league games, and he could be the difference between the teams on Saturday.
A game of chess awaits
Both teams are involved in goals, with Raith netting 18 in 11 home games and Queen’s Park conceding 19 in 10 away games, so the ‘Both Teams To Score’ market at 1.8 looks a smart pick for this mid-table Championship clash.
To conclude our Raith Rovers vs Queen's Park prediction, Imrie’s attacking style could just have the edge over Crighton’s structured block, so I’m taking Raith to nick this closely contested game.
