Ross County vs St Johnstone Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals has landed in seven of the Saints’ last eight Premiership games
• Ross County have scored more than once in just one of their last four
• The last five meetings between these two have seen under 2.5 goals

Another close clash

These two sides kick off their new campaign with Ross County aiming to add to their three-game winning run at home. Will their League Cup minutes give them an edge over the Saints?

The visitors are waiting to kick off their Europa Conference League campaign next month, but they’ve been on the sidelines while Ross County played four times. That should even the playing field between last season’s strugglers and the visiting FA Cup winners.

The Saints have played four preseason games, with three seeing under 2.5 goals, including two 0-0 draws. On top of that, seven of their last eight league games have seen under 2.5 goals. Meanwhile, Ross County scored more than once in just one of their four League Cup group games.

The last five meetings between these two have seen fewer than three goals, with three of them finishing 1-1. We’re backing another low-scoring encounter, with a 1-1 draw our correct score prediction.
