Celtic form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Celtic Park as Celtic have scored 17 goals to get 16 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Premiership are 5-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
A nice win for Celtic last time playing, versus Kilmarnock. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Mohamed Elyounoussi and Shane Duffy scoring for the victors. Ahead of that match, Celtic won a home game hosting Lille (3-2).
There will be little rest for Celtic after this match as they are travelling to Hamilton Academical for a Premiership game in only three days.
The Celtic manager N. Lennon has got the team scoring with 17 from 7 home games in the league. From these home matches, Celtic have conceded only 6 goals.
Ross County form and stats
There's been little loot from Ross County's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 9 away games in the Premiership. Ross County, who have the fewest scored goals (10) in Premiership, only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. Ross County are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the St. Johnstone fixture. Bitter travels for County as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the St. Johnstone match.
County are looking to quickly end their 318 minutes long goal drought in the Premiership.
Home advantage was not enough for County in their previous game, as they lost their Premiership-match, hosting Hamilton Academical, 0-2. A 0-2 defeat away at Livingston before that.
A quick return to home after this game, as Ross County are hosting St. Mirren in the Premiership only three days away.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. County have conceded 15 goals in these games.
