Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Ross County and St Johnstone face each other at Global Energy Stadium in what is expected to be a close encounter. Ross County aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Motherwell and a win over St Johnstone should see them escape the relegation zone. Talented forward Owura Edwards serves a one-game ban, while all Gwion Edwards, Eamonn Brophy, Ross Callachan, and Ben Paton remain in the recovery room.
The Saints, on the other hand, are one point away from securing the elite division survival. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Ross County want this triumph more than St Johnstone. As for the away team, both Nicky Clark and Murray Davidson are out of contention with injuries, while experienced midfielder David Wotherspoon is pushing for a start. You should bear in mind that in their last encounter in the Scottish elite division Ross County defeated St Johnstone 2-0.
