Partick Thistle Preview – Can Thistle halt their winless run at seven to boost hopes of survival?

Since returning to Partick Thistle earlier this season for a second spell in charge, it’s fair to say things have not went to plan for Ian McCall. The Jags are rock bottom of the Championship and are three points from safety heading into these midweek fixtures. They do have a game in hand over Queen of the South who are directly above them and a couple on Alloa who sit in eighth at the moment – six points above Thistle.
That will give McCall some hope with 10 games of their  season left but considering they are still looking for their first win this calendar year, there is still plenty of anxiety surrounding the club.
Our betting prediction:
Partick Thistle win/BTTS
7/2

Thistle did pick up a well-earned point away against runaway leaders Dundee United on Saturday, their second consecutive draw. Whilst that would have been a welcome point due to the nature of the fixture, it extends their run without a win to seven games, losing for of them.
Partick’s last win in the league came on the 28th of December away to Greenock Morton. Their last win at home was two weeks earlier and they have since taken just two points from their last four at home in the Championship.

Dunfermilne Preview – Will Dunfermilne continue good recent run and potentially close on fourth place?

Five straight league defeats between December and January had Dunfermilne very worried about their Championship status and had Stevie Crawford’s future as manager in a lot of doubt. The Pars have done very well to recover from that terrible run to now put themselves in contention for the top four and one of three promotion playoff positions. Crawford’s men sit fifth and are just two points behind Dundee, albeit they have played an extra game.

Dunfermilne will travel to face the Dens Park club on Saturday and with both teams playing on Tuesday night it’s shaping up to be a really big week in the context of the top four.

The last six games for Dunfermilne have been much more positive with three wins and two draws restoring belief that they can end the season in the top four. Crawford will be looking for his team to continue in that form with two massive away games in the space of four days coming up.

Star striker Kevin Nisbet is on 18 league goals for the season but has missed the last two games with injury and will be missing again on Tuesday. Nisbet will be a huge miss as the Pars go up against the team he started his career at.
