Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Ross County will try to put an end to their three-game losing run when they take on St. Mirren in the Premiership round 18. The Staggies suffered a dip in form, with the team obviously struggling at the back. As Ross County have conceded eleven goals in total in the last three league matches, home win should not be considered. Elijah Campbell is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 3-1 loss to Hibernian, with Ryan Leak being ready to step up.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over St. Johnstone and we predict that they will take advantage of Ross County’s shaky defence. It has to be noted that St. Mirren are undefeated in the previous three meetings with Ross County in the Premier League. Bear in mind, though, that forward Toyosi Olusanya misses out through suspension for the visiting team.
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.
