Ross County form and stats

Ross County's struggle is real here at Global Energy Stadium with only 11 points collected from 12 Premiership games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-2-7.

A nice win for County last time playing, versus Kilmarnock. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with Dhanda, Brophy and White scoring for the victors. Just what the doctor ordered, as that was the first league win after going winless in seven consecutive games. Midfielder Kenneh was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.83 (out of ten) in that game. Kenneh signed up for two assists and hit two key passes.

In the match before, 0-0 away to Hamilton Academical (Scottish Cup).

Ross County are traveling soon after this match as the Premiership match at Rangers awaits in four days.

Ross County have conceded 21 from these games.

Hibernian form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Hibernian so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 3-0-8 (win-draw-lose).

Hibernian go into this game after a win, the home game against Aberdeen that ended 6-0. As mentioned above, Hibernian was the only team on the pitch versus Aberdeen in their previous game, winning 6-0. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention Campbell's lethal finishing against Aberdeen. three goals were a big reason for the important victory. Campbell got a match rating of 10.0 in that game, top player of the team. Campbell scored three goals, signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and had 42 successful passes (of 50 total).

The game earlier was the Scottish Cup-duel against Hearts, a home defeat (0-3).

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 11 of this side's 13 latest league matches have ended with at least three goals.

Hibernian have another fixture that requires travelling in just four sleeps, a Premiership match versus St. Mirren. A demanding diary for the guests!

Hibernian have conceded 23 goals in these games.
