Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Scottish Premiership match.
Ross County managed to rescue a point in their game against another club from Dundee. This time, they face the second Dundee side. Can they break their winless streak?
Ross County
If the match against Dundee United (1:1) can be considered a lucky escape, the last-round game against Aberdeen (0:1) turned into a complete disappointment. The team missed a penalty, had a goal disallowed by the referee, and conceded the winning goal in the 98th minute. They have significant issues in attack, accumulating just 1.05 xG from eight shots in that game, but it didn’t help. Overall, Ross County have failed to score in four of their last five matches across all competitions.
Dundee
All four of Dundee's Premiership matches have seen four goals scored, with three of those games ending in draws (2:2). In another match, Dundee defeated Hearts (3:1). Opponents needed 6.27 xG to score those seven goals, indicating that the team did not allow many chances at their goal. Meanwhile, Ross County require an average of 3.78 xG to score a single goal.
Ross County vs Dundee Prediction
In the last three head-to-head encounters, Dundee’s goal has remained unbreached, leading the team to victory in two out of those three games. Given that the hosts struggle offensively, we predict that they will score no more than one goal. Their goal-scoring struggles are evident.
