It's match two of the Premiership season and all to play for. Don't miss our detailed preview of Ross County-St. Johnstone!
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
Ross County faced defeat in their previous match, away at Celtic (2-4). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Laidlaw had a busy but productive day in the Celtic match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented.
Previously, the League Cup-game at home against Kelty Hearts (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) that ended 3-3. A letdown as the team were big pre-match favourites. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how County have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 4 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 0.
St. Johnstone form and stats
Home advantage was not enough for St. Johnstone in their previous game as they lost hosting Hearts, 0-2. St. Johnstone goalkeeper Mitov could enjoy a top-notch day at work versus Hearts, but despite achieving seven saves the defeat could not be helped.
The fixture before that was the League Cup-battle against Stirling Albion, a home loss (0-4). We have checked recent matches where Johnstone have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 11 games were 3 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings with these squads: Ross County won four, St. Johnstone triumphed in two and we saw four draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, six matches with less than 2,5 goals.
