The attacking players from Ross County have struggled for goals over their last 6 encounters, contributing the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those fixtures, The Staggies have also seen the overall goal aggregate of their opponents equal 13. Let’s see whether or not that trend will be continued on in this game.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Inspecting their prior head-to-head meetings stretching back to 19/09/2020 tells us that St Johnstone have won 1 of them and Ross County 3, with the number of drawn results standing at 2.

A combined sum of 11 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 4 from The Saints and 7 coming from The Staggies. The average number of goals per game works out to 1.83.

📰 Team News: St Johnstone

The St Johnstone boss Callum Davidson does not have any fitness worries at all before this game owing to a fully healthy group available to select from.

It looks as if The Saints may well go for a 3-4-2-1 system this time featuring Remi Matthews, Liam Gordon, Alexander Mitchell, Andrew Considine, Drey Wright, Adam Montgomery, Melker Hallberg, Ryan McGowan, Nicky Clark, Jamie Murphy and Stevie May.

📋 Team News: Ross County

Ross County boss Malky Mackay has to currently contend with reduced team options. George Harmon (Thigh muscle rupture), Alex Samuel (Surgery) and Connor Randall (Fractured Leg) are not able to play.

We’re of the thinking that The Staggies appear most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting Ross Laidlaw, Keith Watson, Jack Baldwin, Alex Iacovitti, Ben Purrington, Ross Callachan, David Cancola, William Akio, Jordan Tillson, Kazeem Olaigbe and Jordan White.

🧠 Prediction

In our opinion, Ross County could find themselves up against it to put one past this St Johnstone side who will likely get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 1-0 victory for St Johnstone at the end of this one.

Looking forward to this.
