Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Saturday’s football game at the SMISA Stadium pits together St. Mirren and Ross County, the two teams who are stuck at the bottom ahead of Matchday 3. The Saints aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Motherwell and Aberdeen, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach against Ross County. Defender Declan Gallagher will have to serve his ban as he was sent off in the last league match, while Mark O’Hara is sidelined with injury.
The Staggies, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back losses to Hearts and Celtic. Since Ross County will go for a win in Saturday’s clash as well, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Midfielder William Akio misses out with a knee problem, but he should be the only absentee in the away side.
Highlighted Player (Marcus Fraser):
Marcus Fraser is a Scottish footballer who plays for Ross County as a defender. Fraser is a product of Celtic football school, but he made no more than one appearance for the Hoops in the Scottish Premier League. He played his only game for the Scottish giants in a 3-1 win at Inverness on February 9, 2013.
After ending his loan spell with Cowdenbeath, Marcus Fraser signed a deal with Ross County in 2015. Over the years, the defender has established himself as a first-team regular with the Staggies, making 26 appearances in the Scottish top flight last term.
Speaking of his international career, Fraser has five caps for the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team. His main position on the field is a right-back, but he is capable of producing good performances as a centre-back as well. Marcus Fraser was born in Bishopbriggs, Scotland, on June 23, 1994.
Highlighted Team (Ross County):

Michael Gardyne, who scored 71 goals in 392 appearances for Ross County, is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart.
