The visiting Rangers side should be favourites in this visit to Ross County, as the away team holds a 35 point advantage from their 28 league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither Ross County nor Rangers 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
Ross County, who have the most conceded goals (59) in Premiership, have collected 18 points from their Premiership home games so far after 5-3-5.
In their previous game, the manager S. Kettlewell led his Ross County to a defeat in the Premiership match away at Motherwell. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Global Energy Stadium. In the game before, an away victory match versus Aberdeen with a 2-1 scoreline.
The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Rangers to win. Let's see if Ross County are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: two games found revealing zero Ross County wins, zero draws and two defeats.
The Ross County fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Ross County defense is not exactly impregnable. 22 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Rangers form and stats
Rangers's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Rangers collect 30 points from their 14 away matches in the Premiership. 9 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats).
Rangers failed to get anything from their last game, a Premiership home match vs Hamilton Academical (placed 11th) that ended with defeat 0-1. It was a Scottish Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Hearts wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Rangers given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed twelve matches with eleven wins as expected, one draw and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won ten of these games by at least two goals.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Bayer Leverkusen in just four days.
Rangers have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 30 goals from 14 away matches. It's not easy to score on Rangers as they have only conceded 12 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
