Ross County to avoid defeat
Motherwell have had a poor run of form recently, they’ve won just one of their last eight games; to be fair, Motherwell’s last two wins came in the Scottish Cup. The Well have no wins in their last eight league games. On the other hand, Ross County have been relatively better recently; they are coming off a win, and they’ve lost just once in their last six games, with two wins and three draws. Considering both teams’ form, we’re making the prediction that Ross County will not lose this match.
Goals at both ends
Both teams have conceded a lot of goals recently. Motherwell have conceded in all of their last seven games; as a matter of fact, they conceded the first goal in all of those seven games. Likewise, Ross County conceded the first goal in all of their last six games; they have no clean sheets in their last 14 games across all competitions. Additionally, we would like to mention that meetings between these sides have not been one-sided when it comes to scoring goals; as both teams scored in eight of their last 10 clashes. Both teams scored in all of Motherwell’s last three games, and in six of Ross County’s last seven games; on that note, both teams will likely find the net.
A high scoring match
We’ve already established that both teams scored in eight of the last 10 encounters between these two: we would also like to point out that those meetings have mostly been high-scoring. All of the last five, and nine of the last 10 clashes between these sides went over 2.5. In the same vein, Ross County have had a lot of high-scoring games, especially in the Premiership; seven of Ross County’s last 10 league games went over 2.5. With this in mind, we should expect some goals in this match.
