🗞️ Team News: Ross County

Thanks to a largely full-strength group of players, there is only the lone fitness worry for the Ross County gaffer Don Cowie to be concerned with. Ross Callachan (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

✨ Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Kilmarnock have it within them to be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

Conversely, Ross County could well struggle to break down their defence but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be converting at least once here, too.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for Kilmarnock when all’s said and done.
