Ross County form and stats

Ross County's results here at Global Energy Stadium in the Premiership have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

County manager M. Mackay and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus St. Mirren (placed 8th) in the Premiership. The County goalkeeper Ashley Maynard Brewer was crucial in the match against St. Mirren last time out, making nine saves. The goalie Ashley Maynard Brewer was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 9.33 out of ten. Brewer stopped the opponent with nine saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Dundee United that ended 1-1.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Celtic are coming to town in four days.

The Ross County fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. Ross County have conceded 13 from these games.

Dundee form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dundee so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose).

Dundee play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Rangers (placed 1st). Dundee goalie Adam Legzdins was glad for a terrific day's work versus Rangers, but even with pulling off eleven saves the loss could not be avoided. Goalkeeper Adam Legzdins got the top player rating of the team with 9.14/10. Legzdins stopped the opponent with eleven saves.

Before that, Dundee secured a home win against St. Johnstone with the score 1-0.

The schedule is very tough for Dundee now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premiership game at Hibernian is waiting in only three days.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Dundee's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 7 matches. Dundee have conceded 15 goals in these games.
