Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Global Energy Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Ross County and Motherwell. The Staggies are determined to secure yet another Premiership survival and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field this time out. Josh Reid is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 2-1 win over Hibernian, whereas Jordan White should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute at the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Well are safe for now, with the team sitting in 9th place, nine points clear of the relegation zone. As Stuart Kettlewell’s men have already secured the top flight survival, we predict that the relegation-threatened hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. Both Barry Maguire and Jonathan Obika remain in the recovery room, while Blair Spittal should recover in time from his minor injury to face Ross County.
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.
