St Johnstone vs Ross County Betting Tips & Predictions

St Johnstone’s win over Inverness CT last week allowed them to keep pace with Ross County as they battle it out for a top four spot in the Scottish Premiership. They come into this game level on points, goal difference, and goals scored, illustrating the teams’ similarity in quality.

They are both 17 points adrift of 3rd placed Hearts, so a top three spot is looking beyond their capabilities, but they still have to keep their results flowing due to the tightness in the rest of the table. They are only 11 points clear of the relegation playoff position, and a loss could send either team as low as 7th in the table.

It’s Ross County who are in the better form of the two though. They come into this match fresh off the back of a Scottish League Cup victory on Sunday, which eased the blow of them being knocked out of the Scottish FA Cup last weekend.

This win over Hibernian took their tally to three wins and three defeats in their last six matches and away from home they have won three of their last four, with their only slip up being an understandable defeat at Celtic.

St Johnstone come into the game having only won two of their last 14 matches, although they have started to pick up the pace in the last few weeks, winning two, losing two, and drawing one of their last six outings.

St Johnstone have lost two of their last five home matches, and Ross County will be high on confidence after their cup win on Sunday and are looking good on the road at the moment. This makes odds of 2.100 for a Ross County 0.0 Asian Handicap Win look very good value. I’m going for a 2-1 correct score prediction at 10/1 as well.
