Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Ross County play host to Hibernian at their Global Energy Stadium in a postponed Premiership game. The Staggies have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Livingston, sharing the spoils with St. Mirren, while losing to Hibernian. All Allardice, Callachan, Nightingale, Randall, and Smith are out of contention with injuries, while Cameron Borthwick-Jackson is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
The Hibs, on the other hand, aim to recover from the FA Cup defeat to Rangers. Nick Montgomery’s troops defeated Ross County 2-0 earlier in March and we predict that history is going to repeat itself on Wednesday evening. All Luke Amos, Owen Bevan, Josh Campbell, and Jake Doyle-Hayes are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Dingwall. Nick Montgomery should stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
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. Ross County have a bitter rivalry with fellow Highlanders Inverness Caledonian, with the two teams facing each other in Highland derby.
The Staggies recorded their biggest win against St Cuthbert Wanderers (11-0) in the 1993/94 Scottish Cup round 1, whereas their biggest loss came in the third round of the 1961/62 Scottish Cup campaign, with the team suffered a 7-0 defeat to Kilmarnock. Michael Gardyne, who scored 71 goals in 392 appearances for Ross County, is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart.
Ross County have never won the Scottish Premier League trophy, but they did well to make it to the Scottish Cup final in the 2009/10 season. The Staggies were beaten by Dundee United (0-3) in the title game at Hampden Park, Glasgow.
