Ross County form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premiership this season. Ross County, who have the fewest scored goals (19) in Premiership, have only managed 2 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Global Energy Stadium. Ross County has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. Hughes and the players.

Ross County lost their last game at Hamilton Academical (placed 12th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Motherwell (1-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with County perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ross County as a small favourite), we find two games. Ross County has won zero of these, drawn two and lost zero.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Ross County here at Global Energy Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 13 games). It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the County defense is not exactly impregnable. 25 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Dundee United form and stats

Dundee United, who have the fewest scored goals (5) away in Premiership, have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Premiership, after 2-6-4 (12 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Dundee have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Ross County game. Recent form does not give Dundee United much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Ross County will be a tough nut to crack.

Dundee lost away at Motherwell (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Hibernian.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Dundee United in our archives, and the results are: one win for Dundee, three draws and one defeat.

Goals are few and far between in Dundee United's away league games. Only 5 goals from 12 travels. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Dundee United have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.
