Dunfermline (home)
- Neil Lennon’s pragmatic philosophy has served Dunfermline well since his appointment in March 2025, but the Pars are still in danger of being drawn into a relegation battle.
- 4th in the Championship 2025/2026 with 33 points from 26 games, Dunfermline are seven points better off than Ross County, who occupy 10th place with 26 points from as many games.
- The hosts are a little more solid and have shown themselves to be a set piece threat this term, but they are also a team that knows how to manage a game when necessary.
- Their structure is always solid in the center of the pitch and they are flexible enough to alter their shape without getting outnumbered in possession or behind in terms of tempo.
- Andy Tod has been their biggest attacking threat this season, notching 10 times in 24 Championship 2025/2026 appearances, but Uche Ikpeazu has been the most influential Ross County player in recent weeks.
Ross County (away)
- Stuart Kettlewell’s Ross County play a wing-heavy style, pressing forward and looking to overrun opponents with their number in the wide areas.
- They press well, win the ball back quickly and look to push on with a high tempo, however, their attacking ambitions often leave them vulnerable at the back.
- Ronan Hale has their goalscoring chart with seven goals in 19 league appearances this campaign.
