Arbroath (home)
- Arbroath have won six, drawn five and lost just one of their 12 home Championship 2025/2026 games to date.
- The hosts sit in third place in the Championship 2025/2026 with 41 points from 26 games, firmly in the hunt for promotion.
- Arbroath’s form has been mixed recently, with one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five games.
- Colin Hamilton’s Arbroath are a compact 4-2-3-1 side with a strong emphasis on transition play, counter-attacking and set pieces when at Gayfield.
- The Red Lichties like to get forward in numbers, but they can also be rigid and can be picked off by the odd ball over the top or cross-field pass.
Ross County (away)
- Ross County are struggling in 10th with 26 points from as many games, and are fighting to avoid the drop.
- Stuart Kettlewell’s County, on the other hand, set up in a three-at-the-back system with a focus on defending well, wing-backs providing width and smart game management.
- There should be no shortage of goals, with the hosts conceding an average of just 1.17 goals per home game and County shipping 18 goals in 12 away fixtures this term.
Head-to-Head
Arbroath have won all three of their Championship 2025/2026 fixtures against Ross County , including a 2-0 away win two months ago.
Key Players
- Findlay Marshall leads the scoring for Arbroath with 9 goals in 26 Championship 2025/2026 appearances and can add to his account, having netted 3 of their last 8.

Betting Insights
- Arbroath are favoured for this game, and they have dominated the recent head-to-head record while the home form of the Red Lichties is much stronger, so I’m leaning towards a home victory at 2.2.
- Over 2.5 goals at 2.03 and Both Teams To Score at 1.79 are also likely given the teams’ recent form and respective defensive records.
Prediction
I’m leaning towards a home victory at 2.2 .
