Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Ross County and Motherwell go head to head at Global Energy Stadium in what is expected to be a close Premiership encounter. The Staggies aim to put an end to their three-match winless run, but they face a tough challenge against Motherwell, who are sitting in fifth place in the standings. Given Ross County’s poor defensive display in a 3-0 loss to Dundee United, home win should not be considered. The likes of Will Nightingale, George Harmon, and Max Sheaf miss out with injuries for the home team.
The Well, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Dundee United and St Johnstone and given their fine away record in the new Scottish Premier League campaign, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. To make things even better for the away team, defender Liam Gordon is back from suspension.
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.
