The Ross County manager S. Kettlewell attacks this game with the team placed 3rd so far. In the visitors dressing room Dundee United and their manager M. Mellon are in 5th place before this match.
It's no vacation for neither County nor Dundee United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Ross County form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Ross County's two home games in the Premiership so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Global Energy Stadium.
The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Kilmarnock in the Premiership last time out and are looking for a win here. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Hamilton Academical.
This is expected to be a close game, with Ross 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.
Ross County has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Dundee United form and stats
Only one away game in the Premiership so far for Dundee United and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 8 victories, 2 draws and 4 losses from 14 travels.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premiership home defeat versus Hibernian with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Prior to that result Dundee won their away game at Motherwell. The scoreline was 1-0.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Dundee playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were two Dundee United wins, four draws and zero defeats.
Dundee United have the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
