Prediction: 0-0
St Johnstone
Ross County will look to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Hibernian when they take on St Johnstone in the Premiership round 28. The Staggies have been having their ups and downs of late, and, no doubt, they need to return to winning ways as soon as possible if they are to secure a top-six finish at the end of the season. David Cancola misses the match with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Hearts. St Johnstone moved away from the rock bottom at the weekend, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. However, the share of spoils is on the cards at Global Energy Stadium as Ross County are undefeated in the previous four home fixtures. All Cameron MacPherson, Chris Kane, Shaun Rooney, and David Wotherspoon are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
