Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Thursday’s football game at Dens Park pits together Dundee FC and Ross County, the two teams who aim to recover from weekend defeats. Dundee FC failed to spoil Rangers party at Ibrox Stadium, but a win over Ross County will see them move closer to top six in the standings. Simon Murray is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Staggies, meanwhile, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last four league fixtures. As Dundee produced a fine performance in the defeat to Rangers, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. Defender Ricki Lamie continues to miss out with a long-term injury, while midfielder Aidan Denholm is pushing for his first start since November 9, 2024 when Ross County suffered a 3-0 loss to Dundee United.
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.
