Prediction: 2-2
Aberdeen
Ross County and Aberdeen take on each other at Global Energy Stadium in a postponed Premiership game. The Staggies played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Rangers at the weekend, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Ross County footballers aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the midweek game. Midfielder David Cancola should be the only absentee in the home side.
The Dons, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to St. Mirren. Aberdeen want to stay in the Championship Group berth, and they are likely to go for a win in Tuesday’s clash. Since Ross County looked sharp in front of goal in the 3-3 draw with Rangers, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. All Marley Watkins, Andrew Considine, and Michael Devlin are likely to miss the game with injuries.
