With their 1 point advantage in the league table, Ross County fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Livingston.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Ross County form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premiership this season. Ross County, who have the the worst goal difference (-14) in Premiership, have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses from their games here at Global Energy Stadium.
In their previous game, the manager S. Kettlewell led his County to a defeat in the Premiership match away at Dundee United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Global Energy Stadium. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Motherwell (0-4).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for County as they are travelling to their away game against Elgin City in the League Cup. That match is four days after this one.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for County here at Global Energy Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 6 games). County are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (12 from 6 played).
Livingston form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Livingston so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose). It's a growing despair in Livingston as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
The attacking players of Livingston have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 259 minutes.
Livingston's previous game was their home loss versus Motherwell (0-2). A 0-2 defeat away at Rangers before that.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Livingston manager G. Holt as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Stenhousemuir.
The visiting Livingston have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 7 goals from 6 games. Livingston's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
