Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Ross County will be aiming to put an end to their six-game winless run when they take on St Johnstone on Saturday afternoon. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Simon Murray, who scored a brace in a 2-2 draw with Livingston, while all Ryan Leak, and Scott Allardice, Dylan Smith, Ross Callachan, and Ben Paton are out of contention with injuries.
The Saints, on the other hand, failed to win the previous six games in all competitions as well. St Johnstone and Ross County, though, seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. All Sam McClelland, Drey Wright, and Alistair Crawford are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting team. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of St Johnstone’s last four games in all competitions.
Highlighted Team (Ross County):
Founded back in 1929, Ross County are professional football club that compete in the Scotland Premier League. The Staggies welcome their rivals at Victoria Park, the stadium which can accommodate up to 6,541 (all-seated) people.

Michael Gardyne, who scored 71 goals in 392 appearances for Ross County, is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart.
