Ross County WLDWLL

Ross County will be wanting a better result here after a 0-1 Premiership loss in their previous game against Rangers.

Ryan Kent (77') was the scorer for Rangers.

It’s not been often in recent games where Ross County have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, The Staggies have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 10 goals in the process. Such a trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, however.

Motherwell LDDLWD

In the game prior to this, Motherwell drew 1-1 in the Premiership tie with Hearts.

The only name on the scoresheet from Motherwell was Chris Long (21'). Conor Washington (49') scored for Hearts.

Motherwell have regularly broken through opposing defences of late, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that The Steelmen have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same matches.

📰 Team News: Ross County

There is just one fitness concern for the Ross County gaffer Stuart Kettlewell to be concerned with due to a largely intact set of players. Coll Donaldson (Cheekbone Fracture) is sidelined.

ℹ️ Team News: Motherwell

Due to a mostly healthy group, there is just the one fitness worry for the Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson to be concerned with. Jake Carroll (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be in action.

🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Ross County will need to apply a lot of pressure to breach the defence of this Motherwell team who we think might get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We’re therefore tipping a very competitive game with a 0-1 winning margin for Motherwell at the conclusion of the game.

Should be interesting.
