Ross County form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ross County so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in County's last three away games as they have all been lost.
County had fun at their own home (Rugby Park) last time out, beating Stirling Albion 3-0. O. Shaw, R. Stewart and R. Charles-Cook scored. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Elgin City at their stadium, the result 4-1.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Ross County when being an outsider away as they are today, we find seven matches with the visitors losing five times, drawing two and winning zero games.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting County as they have only managed to score 4 times from 7 away games in the league. County have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
