Ross County form and stats

Ross County have collected 2 points from their Premiership home games so far after 0-2-3. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Ross County, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

A strong away win for County against Dundee the last match, as Joseph Hungbo, Harry Clarke, Regan Charles-Cook (2) and Ross Callachan were on target. As indicated by the result mentioned above, County played a great game against Dundee and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. Harry Clarke, defender, was given a rating of 8.72/10 in that game, top of the team. Clarke scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and won 7 of 8 duels.

Preceding that match was the home game against Livingston that was lost 2-3.

A decent goal production from County in their home games so far, with 8 goals from 5 league matches. Ross County are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (12 from 5 played).

Hibernian form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Premiership travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. With the Hibernian losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Home advantage was not enough for Hibernian in their previous game, as they lost their Premiership-match, hosting Celtic, 1-3. Jake Doyle Hayes got a match rating of 7.44 in that game, top player of the team. Hayes hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 45 successful passes (of 48 total).

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Aberdeen's place.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Hibernian have scored 6 goals in 5 league games away. As opposed to that, Hibernian have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
