Ross County vs Forfar Predictions

Ross County sit top of Group B after picking up maximum points from their opening three matches and a win on Wednesday night will confirm their place in the Knockout stage. Visiting Forfar Athletic have also won all of their group games so far but have played one match fewer than their hosts.

Ross County made the trip to Perth on Sunday to take on fellow Premiership side St. Johnstone in the League Cup, where despite going behind to an eighth-minute penalty, the visitor’s recovered to maintain their 100% record in Group B. McKay equalised for Ross County on the half-hour mark and then put the visitors in front in first-half stoppage time. The second half was much tighter and, despite both teams having chances to score, the scoreline remained the same and Ross County picked up another three points.

Forfar Athletic travelled to fellow League One side Montrose at the weekend as the pair went head to head over three points in the League Cup group stage and, just like Ross County, the visitors fell behind to an early penalty, only to lead 2-1 at the halftime interval. Hilson converted two first-half spot-kicks to put Forfar in front and in the second half, Travis netted a brace to wrap up an impressive 4-1 win and make it six points from a possible six in Group B.

The head to head record between these two clubs and the performances and form of both teams heading into Wednesday’s match suggests that Ross County are likely to win to nil. Four of the last seven meetings between these two clubs have ended in a win to nil and Wednesday’s hosts have won five of the pair’s last seven encounters. Ross County play in the Premiership, while their guests ply their trade in League One and that makes the hosts big favourites to win with the bookmakers. Ross County have kept three clean sheets in their last six matches and have won five of their last six in all competitions, which is why we’re backing a 3-0 win for the hosts on Wednesday.

McKay and Stewart have both scored four goals each in the League Cup for Ross County this season, while South Africa’s Travis has netted three times in this competition for Forfar Athletic. We’re confident that Ross County will win to nil on Wednesday and have predicted a final scoreline of 3-0. The hosts sit two divisions above their guests and possess a much better squad with a higher class of defender and attacker, which should make all the difference on Wednesday. Both teams have won all of their games so far but Forfar are yet to take on either of the Premiership sides that make up Group B.
