Morton have quietly stabilized after a brutal October, while Queen’s Park remain unpredictable: capable of carving open opponents one week and leaking heavily the next.</p> <h2>Form and Momentum</h2> <p>Morton’s last eight league matches tell a clearer story than their season-long numbers: 1.38 points per game (up 22%), and an uptick in scoring to 1.13 goals per game. The 3-0 statement win at Ross County and the home win against Arbroath underscore a sturdier platform. Queen’s Park, by contrast, have stumbled: 0.75 points per game in their last eight, conceding more (up 18%) and scoring less.</p> <h2>Tactical Matchup</h2> <p>Morton under Dougie Imrie typically squeeze the middle and look to win territory, banking on wide deliveries and second balls. At home they’ve been more conservative, which explains the modest 0.71 goals scored per game. Queen’s Park’s away approach is transition-driven; they accept risk, and the data confirms it: 2.13 goals conceded per away game but a respectable 1.13 scored. The visitors’ late goal profile (67% of their away goals after half-time) marries up with Morton’s own tendency to concede in second-half phases.</p> <h2>Key Numbers that Shape the Odds</h2> <ul> <li>Queen’s Park have scored in 75% of away fixtures; Morton keep a home clean sheet just 29% of the time.</li> <li>Morton’s lead-defending rate at home is 33% (low), a classic driver of draw outcomes and late concessions.</li> <li>BTTS power: QP away BTTS hits 75%; Morton overall BTTS 56%.</li> <li>Corners: QP away corners profile is subdued (7.63 avg), Morton home 10.14; combined suggests unders around the 10.5 line.</li> </ul> <h2>Market Intelligence</h2> <p>Books make Morton 1.75 to win, but that likely bakes in Queen’s Park’s porous away defense. The sharper angle is to target the visitors to score at least once rather than picking a winner. The 1.55 on QP Over 0.5 Team Goals carries a robust statistical base and offers a cleaner path than Morton team overs, which run into their own low-scoring home trend.</p> <p>Second-half dynamics are in play: with both teams skewing towards late action, “Highest Scoring Half – 2nd” at 2.00 and “Queen’s Park Over 0.5 Goals (2nd Half)” at 2.23 appeal to bettors who want to leverage timing trends. The latter is particularly appetizing considering Queen’s Park’s knack for 76–90 minute strikes and Morton’s vulnerability protecting leads.</p> <h2>Angles to Consider</h2> <p>For those who like player props, Josh Fowler’s anytime scorer price at 4.00 stands out. He has been the sharp end of Queen’s Park attacks recently and is on penalties, a useful edge when games get stretched. On the macro side, the draw at 3.40 is a classic Championship contrarian: Morton draw 56% of league games, and QP 47%. While regression risk exists, the price compensates.</p> <h2>Projected Game Script</h2> <p>Expect Morton to impose structure early and look to nick the opener via set-piece or a Garrity/Adeloye action. Queen’s Park should get territory as the game loosens, with Fowler and Moffat dangerous in the gaps. The first half could be tight; after the interval, fatigue and game state should open chances at both ends.</p> <h2>The Oracle’s Best Bets</h2> <ul> <li>Queen’s Park Over 0.5 Team Goals @ 1.55</li> <li>Under 10.5 Corners @ 1.67</li> <li>BTTS – Yes @ 1.83</li> <li>Draw @ 3.40</li> <li>Value Prop: Josh Fowler Anytime @ 4.00</li> </ul> <p>Verdict: Morton have the higher floor, but Queen’s Park’s away scoring frequency keeps them live. The most reliable angle is the visitors to net, with late action likely to define the scoreboard.</p> </body> </html>
