Recent Form : Neither team has happy memories from the weekend as, whilst Queen's were comprehensively beaten up at Peterhead, United were succumbing to a rejuvenated Hearts at Tynecastle by two goals. It seems like ages ago, but it's actually only been four years since the last encounters when Queen's did very well to take United to a replay at Tannadice, eventually losing out to a Billy Dodds header.
       
Likely Outcome : Whilst there is no such thing as a certainty in football, this is probably about as close as you can get to one, and a win for Queen's would register even higher on the Richter scale than today's earthquake in England. Even at full strength The Spiders would struggle to contain United's combination of U-21 and full Internationalists, and United fans will be expecting a three goal winning margin at the very least. Bearing in mind how difficult goals are to come by right now for Queen's, just scoring would be an achievement, but this too may be just beyond them.
