Ross County v Motherwell

Ross County vs Motherwell Preview

Ross County registered a welcome 1-0 home win against St Mirren last Tuesday night which not only handed Ross County a valuable three points but also put an end to a worrying nine-match winless run in the Scottish top flight which included four defeats while Motherwell's winless run in the Premiership continued to 11 games with a 3-3 draw with Dundee on the weekend.

Although they had picked up points in five draws with the likes of Livingston, Dundee, Motherwell, Hibernian and Kilmarnock, Ross County had also previously slipped to losses against Aberdeen, Hearts, Celtic and St Johnstone which have prevented the hosts from moving into the top half of the Premiership table and wins on home soil at their Global Energy Stadium have been sporadic at best.

Indeed, Ross County have managed to pick up just three wins out of their last 12 home matches which have come in the form of victories over Livingston, St Johnstone and St Mirren but Derek Adams' side have also been handed six defeats in these 12 home games, following losses to Motherwell, Celtic (twice), Aberdeen, Rangers and Hearts, so there's no guarantee of a result here for the hosts on Tuesday night.

Motherwell will be eager to break their current drought of 11 matches without a win in the Scottish top flight as the visitors have had to endure a sequence of unsuccessful results heading into this Tuesday night's fixture at the Global Energy Stadium which consists of four draws but also seven defeats as well.

The visitors have suffered losses on the road at Rangers, Livingston and Kilmarnock on their travels but these three defeats have been Motherwell's only negative results in their last 13 outings on the road while goals could also feature as seven of these 13 away games have also resulted with both teams scoring but the visitors have also found league wins on the road difficult to come by as well.

‘Well have managed to collect just four wins on their travels within their last 13 away games which have come in the shape of victories against the likes of Ross County, Hibernian, St Johnstone and Hearts but the prospects of a straight win for Stuart Kettlewell's seem fairly unlikely.

The visitors do look likely to hit the back of the net though on Tuesday night as Kettlewell's side have scored in 14 of their last 17 away games in the Scottish Premiership and this trend looks set to continue at the Global Energy Stadium as both Ross County and Motherwell have been susceptible in defence in recent times.

Ross County v Motherwell Verdict

Both Ross County and Motherwell occupy positions in the lower half of the Scottish Premiership table, sitting in eighth and ninth respectively for a reason but both sides look set to score in what could result in a score-draw.
