Ross County will face Dundee United in a Scottish Premiership clash at the Global Energy Stadium on Saturday. Both teams are looking to secure their first win of the season.
Ross County, who finished 11th last season, narrowly avoided relegation and will be aiming for a more stable position this year. Under the leadership of Don Cowie, they have been on an impressive undefeated streak in their last 11 matches across all competitions. They managed to secure a point in their first game against Motherwell and will be hoping for all three points against Dundee United.
On the other hand, Dundee United, who earned promotion to the top division, are also in good form. Despite a disappointing start in the Scottish Cup, they have won three and drawn two of their last five matches. Jim Goodwin’s side showed strength in the Championship and will be looking to continue their positive momentum in the Premiership.
In terms of team news, Ross County will be missing Max Sheaf and Ricki Lamie due to injuries, while new signing Ronan Hale is expected to lead the attack. Dundee United’s Kristijan Trapanovski has been impressive with three goals in six appearances and is likely to start in the upcoming match.
Possible lineups for the match include Laidlow, Wright, Nightingale, Leak, Brown, Loturi, Randall, Grieves, Harmon, White, and Hale for Ross County, and Walton, Graham, Gallagher, Holt, Sevelj, Sibbald, Babunski, Ferry, Thomson, Trapanovski, and Van der Sande for Dundee United.
In terms of predictions, both teams are evenly matched and in good form, so we anticipate a closely contested game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Overall, the upcoming clash between Ross County and Dundee United promises to be an exciting and competitive match as both teams look to secure their first victory of the season in the Scottish Premiership.
