A statistic posted on the social media accounts of Scottish football site Pie and Bovril sums up the feel of the Championship this season. Essentially, it was the form guide for each of the teams over the past six games, with leaders St Johnstone top with 11 points. Perhaps more surprisingly, their opponents on Friday, Raith Rovers, are bottom with just five points. I say surprisingly, as Rovers are just three points off a promotion play-off place - albeit they have played two more games than Ayr United, who currently sit fourth. While St Johnstone and Partick Thistle have been a slight cut above the rest, there is rarely a fixture in this division where you can confidently predict the outcome.
