Ross County Preview – Can Ross Co make positive start?
Ross County narrowly avoided the relegation play-off spot at the end of last season following a third from bottom finish at the end of the regular season and also a third from bottom finish in the Relegation Group, just three points above the play-off side, Kilmarnock.
The hosts will therefore be looking to improve upon last season’s campaign this time around but Ross County face a tricky season-opener against St Johnstone despite being at home, but they did finish last season with a flourish, winning their last three games on the trot.
Victories over Dundee United, Hamilton Academical and Motherwell at least secured Ross County their Premiership status for another term but they lost to St Johnstone 1-0 in the previous meeting away from home back in March.
St Johnstone Preview – Can Saints continue rise?
St Johnstone achieved a top six finish at the end of the Scottish Premiership regular season which was capped off with a FA Cup final 1-0 win against Hibernian to earn the visitors a place in this season’s Europa League.
St Johnstone finished last term in reasonable form as The Saints lost just two of their final nine games of the season against Aberdeen and Celtic but four wins against Motherwell, Hibernian, today’s opponents, Ross County and Hibernian again helped St Johnstone close out a successful campaign.
St Johnstone have also been pretty reliable away from home too as the visitors have lost just two of their last nine games on their travels and they look in good shape to get something from their trip to Dingwall on Saturday.
