LiontipsRangers vs Ross County. Prediction and bets on the match of the Scottish Championship
Command Analysis
Current form
The "Teddy Bears" have had a terrible preparation for the current season. In friendly matches, the club suffered three defeats against Manchester United, Ajax and Birmingham and was only able to draw once with Union Berlin (4:4), which had a negative impact on the start of the championship and the Champions League.
In the European Cups, the Jerseys faced Dynamo Kyiv. They played away to a 1:1 draw, and it seemed that everything was in the team's hands, but it was not so. At home, Philippe Clement's charges unexpectedly lost 0:2, having conceded two goals after Jefte was sent off in the 51st minute, and will now compete in the Europa League.
The club is still undefeated in the national championship, but it is true that it made a mistake in the first round, playing 0:0 with Hearts. And in the last round, Rangers barely won the match with Motherwell (2:1). As a result, four points in the asset and the fourth line in the tournament table.
In the Scottish League Cup, the team managed to reach the quarter-finals, beating St. Johnstone in the 1/8 finals (2:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
The club will not be helped by Cortes and Raskin, who are in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- In seven of nine home games, the Jerseys beat their opponents by two goals
- Since the start of this season, the team has not scored more than two goals at its home stadium
Probable lineup : Butler, Tavernier, Souttar, Propper, Jefte, Sterling, Dowell, Cherny, Diamande, Matondo, Danilo
Current form
Before the last match of the Scottish League Cup, Ross County had not known the bitterness of defeat and was on a series of 12 matches without defeat, including two friendly matches (eight victories and four draws). Who would have thought that the team would stumble against the Edinburgh club of the second league Spartans (0:1) in the 1/8 finals.
In the national championship, the team led by Malka Makai has not lost yet and in the first two rounds both times played to a draw. In the opening match of the national championship, they drew nil with "Moterall", and in the next match they exchanged goals with "Dundee United" (1:1), but were able to recoup only in stoppage time and did not realize an 11-meter kick in the middle of the first half. As a result, the team has two points and eighth place in the tournament table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lamy and Schiff will miss the game, both are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Ross County have scored no more than two goals in three consecutive matches
- The club have conceded away goals in five of their last six matches, but have not conceded more than one goal in those games
Estimated lineup : Laidlaw, Brown, Leek, Nightgale, Hermon, Chilvers, Lothuri Randall, Denholm, White, Hale
Trends
Bet Exact score 2:0
The hosts' last two meetings have seen this score
7.50Bet 1st half: draw
In 2 of the last 3 Rangers matches there was a draw in the first half
3.05Bet 2nd half: total over 1.5 goals
The Jerseys' last two games have seen more than one goal scored in the second half.
1.58Tip and bets
The hosts are clear favourites. But there were cases when the Jerseys lost to their opponents. This happened in the last face-to-face game, where Ross County turned out to be stronger, although the game took place on the field of today's guests. This gives some hope to the visiting team, but everything still depends on the club from Glasgow. The Teddy Bears look a cut above, and we believe that they will easily beat their opponent.
Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Rangers with odds of 1.57
Betting on Team Goals
Rangers have not scored much in their opening games this season and the club's attacking play is not yet in order. The match will most likely not be rich in goals, and in three of the hosts' five previous games, there was no exchange of goals, which is what we expect today.
Prediction - both teams will not score with odds of 1.80
Bet on total
The hosts will certainly be looking to win and are unlikely to play too cautiously, while the visitors will probably lock themselves in defense and prefer to play on the counterattack. It is not worth counting on a goal extravaganza, since Rangers have finished five matches in a row with a total under.
Betting Tip - total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.82
