Today’s SPFL lower division prospects

Cowdenbeath v Queen of the South

The home side need victory to have a chance of avoiding the relegation play-offs and they are in high spirits following back-to-back wins that have seen them score six goals.

Last season No fixture Prediction Home win

Will Vaulks and Jonny Flynn return for the hosts but the visitors are without Daryll Meggatt and Jonathan Tiffoney who are suspended. Last season No fixture Prediction Home win

Hamilton Academical v Morton

Hamilton may have taken their title chances out of their own hands with last week’s defeat at Dumbarton, but the league leadership has changed on a weekly basis recently so Alex Neil’s men must concentrate on winning and
