Home advantage was not enough for County in their previous game, as they lost their Premiership-match, hosting Aberdeen, 0-3. Prior to that result Ross County won their away game at St. Johnstone. The scoreline was 1-0.

The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played twelve away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with five wins, one draw and six defeats. four games were lost by at least two goals margin.

Ross County has another fixture away, a League Cup game, against Montrose in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Ross County as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. County are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 2 goals away.
