Motherwell v Ross County

Motherwell vs Ross County Preview

Motherwell were involved in a third draw on the trot in the Scottish Premiership on the weekend when they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Kilmarnock but nevertheless, that result extended Motherwell's unbeaten run in the domestic top flight to four games, while Ross County's winless sequence in the Premiership was extended to seven games overall following a 1-0 defeat at home to St Johnstone on Saturday. Both Motherwell and Ross County find themselves occupying places in the lower reaches of the Scottish top flight table but the hosts do hold a useful three-point cushion over their upcoming visitors and ‘Well bring a four-game unbeaten sequence into this clash which includes a resounding 3-1 home win against Livingston. Subsequent points earned in three draws on the trot with Hibernian, St Johnstone (away) and Kilmarnock perhaps give Stuart Kettlewell's side a slight advantage ahead of Tuesday night's encounter at Fir Park but the hosts will need to lift their game on home soil as Motherwell have managed to capture just one win from their last 10 home games.

However, the goals market definitely appeals here as eight of Motherwell's last 10 home games have resulted in both teams scoring.

Ross County had to endure a seventh game without a win in the Scottish Premiership on the weekend when they were handed a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to St Johnstone which has left the visitors sitting second from bottom in the domestic top flight table but they do possess a comfortable looking six-point cushion above the bottom club Livingston.

Five defeats within these last seven games have certainly not done Ross County any favours though as the visitors have slipped to losses at the hands of St Mirren, Dundee, Aberdeen, Celtic and St Johnstone respectively, while the bigger picture also paints a worrying outlook for the visitors.

Ross County have managed to register just two wins from their last 18 matches overall both of which were recorded on home soil at their Global Energy Stadium by way of victories against St Mirren and Motherwell but they have also been handed nine defeats within these 18 games as well.

To make matters worse, Ross County have managed to chalk up just the single win away from home so far this season but have slipped to five defeats so the goals market beckons once again as the safest option for this upcoming fixture.

Motherwell v Ross County Verdict

Neither Motherwell nor Ross County have produced any sort of sparkling form in recent weeks in the Scottish top flight as both sides have struggled to string a run of wins together, or even back-to-back wins, but the prospects of both teams scoring does look promising here.
