Edinburgh City vs Queen of SouthPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Meadowbank hosts two sides arriving in different moods. Edinburgh City have not lost in five outings: 3-1 against Cowdenbeath, 3-0 at Dumbarton, 1-0 against Annan Athletic and 1-0 away to Hamilton Academical, then a 1-1 home draw with Forfar Athletic in their latest game. Queen of the South, by contrast, have swung from one result to the opposite almost every week: 0-1 to Peterhead, 4-0 against Cumbernauld Colts, 0-2 to Alloa Athletic, 1-0 over Hibernian U21 and finally a 1-2 defeat at Montrose. In the five previous meetings Queen of the South have never lost. They won 4-0 in July 2025, 2-0 in April 2024 and 3-1 in December 2023 on their own ground, won 2-1 in Edinburgh in August 2023 and drew 1-1, again at Edinburgh City, in February 2024. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
