Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Ross County will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over St. Mirren when they take on Motherwell in the Premiership round 16. The Staggies have regained a much-needed confidence, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to secure a top-six finish. All Eamonn Brophy, Jay Henderson, Ross Callachan, and Ben Paton are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Well, on the other hand, failed to win the previous eleven league matches, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on the home side. The visitors will be without Paul McGinn, Lennon Miller, and Pape Souare in Tuesday’s clash, while midfielder Harry Paton misses out through suspension. Paton’s absence is yet another reason why we are going to place our bets on the hosts this time out.
