Ross County form and stats

Ross County's struggle is real here at Global Energy Stadium with only 7 points collected from 7 Premiership games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-4. Ross County has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager S. Kettlewell and the players. Three consecutive losses here at Global Energy Stadium is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

The Ross County crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-4 to Celtic here at Global Energy Stadium in a Premiership match. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at St. Mirren.

Ross County are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Ross County have allowed the opposition to score 18 goals here at Global Energy Stadium.

Hibernian form and stats

2-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Hibernian in their Premiership matches away. Momentum is building for Hibernian in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

Hibernian's last game was the home draw against Kilmarnock (2-2). Prior to that result Hibernian won their away game at St. Mirren. The scoreline was 2-1.

It looked so good for Hibernian vs Kilmarnock, but the job was not completed and two points were lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

A quick return to home after this game, as Hibernian are hosting Aberdeen in the Premiership only three days away.

Hibernian have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. The Hibernian manager J. Ross has some worries about the defense as 15 goals have been conceded in these travels.
