History of the Partick Thistle v Airdrie United fixture

Partick Th. prepare to entertain Airdrie United at Firhill Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Jags are clearly on top, having won 53 and lost only 23 of the 96 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Firhill Stadium was just last season, in February 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Partick Thistle's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While The Jags have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Airdrie Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the The Diamonds have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Partick Th.'s 3 points from 1 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 4th position. Airdrie Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 0 points from 1 matches.
