Edinburgh City vs Ross County – Prediction, and Match Preview
Edinburgh City vs Ross County – After losing their previous match in the League Cup against Stranraer by a score of 2-1, Edinburgh City will be looking to get back on track today.
Ryan Shanley was the lone player from Edinburgh City to score (he did so at the 49-minute mark). Stranraer got goals from Ben Armour (in the 38th minute) and Thomas Orr (in the 79th minute).
There have been an average of three or more goals scored each game in six of the last six matches that Edinburgh City have participated in.
During these matches, goals were scored by the opposition a total of 16 times, while Edinburgh City only managed to score 10 times. It’s possible that such a pattern won’t carry over into this game, though.
Ross County enters this matchup with momentum after earning a 2-1 victory over Greenock Morton in their most recent matchup for the League Cup.
The goals were scored by Jay Henderson (in the 70th minute) and Simon Murray (in the 78th minute) for Ross County. Greenock Morton’s goal was scored by George Oakley in the 37th minute.
At least three goals have been scored in each of the last five out of the past six matches that Ross County has participated in.
During that stretch, the total average number of goals scored in each match was 4.17, while the number of goals scored by Ross County on an individual match basis averaged out to be 2.33.
Edinburgh City vs Ross County – Betting Analysis
As a result of having a perfectly healthy roster from which to chose, Alan Maybury, the manager of Edinburgh City, does not have any concerns regarding the fitness of his team heading into this encounter.
Malky Mackay, the manager of Ross County, has many challenges to contend with regarding player availability. Both Ben Paton and Ross Callachan have suffered injuries to their cruciate ligaments, and hence they will be unable to play here.
Against this Ross County lineup, we believe that Edinburgh City should have enough to hit the back of the net, but it’s possible that one goal won’t be enough.
