Raith Rovers host the Jags at Stark’s Park on Tuesday night, and it is one of those games that feels a bit difficult to pin down. On paper, the Jags have the stronger case. Second place, still chasing the top, and even a game in hand.
Still, that 20 point gap does not quite settle things. Raith Rovers, sitting seventh, have shown moments, especially at home. You might expect the table to tell the full story. However, this could drift away from what the bookmakers seem to expect.

Championship
Recent meetings between these two have felt tight, sometimes a bit scrappy if you watch closely. Raith Rovers have had the slight edge, with five wins from the last eleven and seven clean sheets, which says a lot.
The Jags, on the other hand, have only two wins in that stretch, plus four draws. Goals are not exactly flowing either, usually just under two per game.
Raith Rovers team overview
Raith Rovers finally gave their fans something to cheer about over the weekend. The Rovers came from behind to beat Airdrieonians 3-1, which might not sound extraordinary until you remember they had scored just once in their previous five matches.
That kind of turnaround can shift a dressing room mood quite quickly. Dougie Imrie’s side are now unbeaten in three home games, winning two of those, so there is at least some momentum building at Stark’s Park.
Kai Montagu made a strong case for himself with a brace off the bench and should come into the starting lineup here. Selection-wise, things look fairly calm.
No injuries, no suspensions. That helps, especially at this stage of the season.

Partick Thistle team overview
Partick Thistle, the Jags, look like a side that has nudged forward this season, though maybe not quite as much as some hoped. After drifting between third and fourth in recent years, Mark Wilson’s side now sit second, which sounds solid. Still, the gap to the top is not huge, so there is work left.
That 0-0 draw with St Johnstone said a few things. Defensively, it was controlled. Going forward, though, it felt a bit flat. You could see the missing edge.
Away form has been steady, if not convincing. Unbeaten in three, yes, but just one win there. Logan Chalmers, with eight goals, remains out, which hurts. Therefore, Ben Stanway carries more of the attacking load. Lee Ashcroft also sits one booking from suspension.

Prediction
This has the look of a stalemate, if you’re being honest about it. Both sides draw quite often lately, with three of Raith Rovers’ last five and three of the Jags’ last five ending level. Even their head-to-head record leans that way. Add in the low scoring trend, and a 0-0 draw feels like a realistic outcome here.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Five of the last seven meetings between Rovers and Partick Thistle ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Four of the last six games of Raith Rovers finished with two or fewer goals.
- Raith Rovers failed to score in four of their last six matches.
