- Queen’s Park have lost both of their last 2 away games and enter this fixture on the back of back-to-back defeats.
- Staggies have won 2 of their last 5 Championship 2025-2026 matches, including a 0-1 win at Queen’s Park in the reverse fixture 6 days ago.

Both teams searching for consistency
Ross County have won 3, drawn 2 and lost 7 of their 12 Championship 2025-2026 home matches, while Queen’s Park have won 2, drawn 4 and lost 5 of their 11 Championship 2025-2026 away games, so both teams have struggled in their respective home and away environments so far this season. In light of this, our Ross County vs Queen's Park prediction is that consistency will continue to evade both sides.
Since taking over in late December 2025, Stuart Kettlewell has made Ross County hard to play against with his structured, flexible, pragmatic approach, prioritising a strong defensive foundation and counter-attacking opportunities. Kettlewell’s men are typically more reactive and structured than their opponents, but they have also been leaking goals at home this term, conceding 20 goals in 12 home matches (1.67 goals per game).
Sean Crighton took charge of Queen’s Park in May 2025, and has maintained a continuity with the existing academy philosophy, favouring a more proactive possession-based approach to the game. Crighton has encouraged his team to press the ball in wide areas and overload the middle of the field in order to control the tempo and play on the front foot, a game plan that requires his team to keep the ball and play with tempo.
Head-to-head and recent form suggests Ross County can edge this
Ross County have won 2 of the last 3 meetings between these sides, losing 1. For those considering this Ross County vs Queen's Park preview, it is important to note Queen’s Park average 1.27 goals per away match in the Championship 2025-2026, but have conceded an average of 2.09 per game, while Staggies have conceded an average of 1.67 at Victoria Park. Both sides have struggled defensively this term and the Over 2.5 goals option is appealing at 1.7.
With Queen’s Park in poor recent form and Ross County winning the reverse, the Ross County vs Queen's Park prediction leans towards a slight edge for Kettlewell’s team, although Queen’s Park’s desire to control the game and high-tempo pressing should keep it competitive.
Ronan Hale top scorer for Ross County with 7 goals in 19 Championship 2025-2026 appearances, while Seb Drozd has 4 for Queen’s Park, in 22 appearances. Aidan Connolly has been deadly recently, however, netting 2 of QP’s last 4 goals.
Finally, for those seeking Ross County vs Queen's Park betting tips, Ross County are rightful favourites at 1.61 for this game, with the visitors priced at 4.85, but Queen’s Park have had some success in Dingwall and a draw at 3.8 looks a good bet here.
