Their latest results highlight the fact that there has been much resilience in the Motherwell backline. Motherwell have given the opposition little, with the number of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their past six matches standing at 2. We will just have to find out if that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.

Ross County

After a loss in their previous game against St Johnstone in Challenge Cup action, Ross County and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Josh McPake (18') and Louis Lloyd (48') scored for St Johnstone.

A tendency of at least one team not scoring a goal in games involving Ross County has been apparent recently. Examining their last 6 outings shows that this has occurred 5 times. During these clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal tally of 10 and Ross County have scored 7.

↔️ Head to head

If we look at their past head to head duels stretching back to 06/02/2024, there has been little between the sides with Motherwell winning 2 of those games, Ross County 2 and 2 being draws in regulation time.

An aggregate of 19 goals were shared by the two clubs in this period, with 12 of them from The Steelmen and 7 created by The Staggies. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.17.

The previous league fixture between these sides was Premiership match day 5 on 18/05/2025 when it finished Ross County 1-1 Motherwell.

On that day, Ross County had 37% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Their only player to score was Ronan Hale (29').

On the other side, Motherwell had 21 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. Ebiye Moses (83') scored.

The referee was Don Robertson.

🧠 Prediction

In our view, Motherwell will, in all likelihood, have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

At the same time, Ross County won’t find it easy to find the back of the net but we can see them converting at least once here.

We’re therefore expecting to see a controlled 3-1 winning margin for Motherwell when the full-time whistle blows.
