Ross County vs Rangers Match Analysis & Prediction
23/12/2022 10:30 pm
Ross County will try to break a two-game losing run in the Scottish Premiership on Friday night when they host Rangers at the Global Energy Stadium.
The hosts come into this one off the back of a loss against St Johnstone, while the visitors travel to the Highlands following a victory away to Aberdeen.
Ross County has struggled in front of goal this season, scoring 14 times, the second-fewest number of goals scored in the Scottish Premiership.
The Staggies look to end a three-match winless streak on Friday when they host Kilmarnock. Ross County has won just two of their nine matches at home in the Scottish Premiership this season and will need to up their game to try to claim a result on Friday.
Rangers manager Michael Beale is fully aware that his side cannot afford to get ahead of themselves if they are to keep their title hopes alive.
Following two consecutive victories, the Gers make the trip to the Global Energy Stadium for a match against Aberdeen, who are also looking to climb back up the standings on Saturday.
Last time out, Scott Arfield was on hand in the 95th and 97th minute to grant his side a dramatic 3-2 victory over Aberdeen at Pittodrie Stadium in a match littered with chances for both teams.
Nevertheless, Beale will be desperate to improve their fortunes on the road in the coming months, given that his side has won just four of their eight Scottish Premiership matches away from home in 2022-23.
