I have no idea how this one's going to go.
If we play to our strengths, and if Crawford's on his game, we're capable of not just winning, but winning with a bit to spare. Crawford really is crucial to us: when he plays well, the team plays well, when he has an off day, nothing seems to go right. He's our barometer. We're no one-man team, but nobody matters as much as him. Overall, we're capable of stringing passes together, we have a good team ethos, and most of the time we have plenty of fight - all characteristics of a team that can battle to avoid relegation.
But we also lack quality in some key areas, notably upfront. We don't create enough chances and we don't score enough goals. If we lose the first goal, the best we can hope for is to hang in there and try to nick an equaliser - when was the last time we came back to win from a goal down? We've had a few collective off days this season, most recently at Annan and Parkhead, and you get the feeling we could easily have another.
Anyone from 3-0 to 0-3 is possible. Which probably means it's going to be a draw.
