Ross County form and stats

Ross County, who have the fewest scored goals (10) in Premiership, have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Premiership, after 2-1-7 (10 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for County, who have now gone twelve games without a victory. The St. Johnstone game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. A depressing six defeats in a row for County in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus St. Johnstone.

T. Grivosti was the last player to score for the away team. County haven't scored a league goal in the last 498 minutes.

County's previous game was their home loss versus St. Mirren (0-2). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Celtic wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Ross County goalkeeper Ross Laidlaw had a great day against St. Mirren, but despite making seven saves the loss could not be avoided.

A new game in only three days for County, the Premiership home match versus St. Johnstone. Busy days.

Goals are few and far between in Ross County's away league games. Only 5 goals from 10 travels. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as County have conceded 17 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
