Edinburgh City vs Ross County Predictions

• Ross County have won both games in this group so far, although they’ve conceded in each
• Edinburgh City have lost two from two in this group, shipping seven goals
• The hosts have seen both teams score in four of their last five League Cup games

Perfect start for Staggies

Ross County are chasing a third straight win in this visit to Edinburgh City as they look to take a huge step towards the next round of the League Cup. The visitors have left last season’s struggles behind with two good wins in this group, while their midweek opponents are propping up the standings.

With two defeats from two, Edinburgh City’s hopes of making it out of this group look incredibly slim. They’ll hope to bounce back at home, although there’s quite a gap between the League One hosts and their Premiership opposition.

Little case for either defence

Edinburgh City have shipped seven goals across their first two games of the season, while they finished last term with a 4-1 loss to Airdrie and followed that up by shipping five goals in two preseason outings. While the hosts did net in all five of those games, their defence looks worryingly vulnerable.

However, Ross County have their own issues at the back. They’ve conceded to both Stranraer and Greenock Morton so far, while they managed one clean sheet across their final nine games of last term. Edinburgh City have seen both teams score in five of their last six League Cup games – winning the other 3-0 – so back goals for both sides on Wednesday.
