Morton
- Morton have failed to win any of their 3 home games this season (D2, L1).
- Dougie Imrie’s Greenock Morton, in contrast, are more of a high-energy, wide-based team which is set up to press early and dictate play, which is a factor to consider in the Greenock Morton vs Ross County prediction.
- Morton have averaged just 0.67 goals a game at their home.
Ross County
- Ross County have had 3 defeats and 2 draws in their last 5.
- According to the Greenock Morton vs Ross County preview, Tony Docherty’s Ross County team have been better away from home than at home this term, and this makes perfect sense given their focus on a compact, flexible structure which can adapt when out of possession.
- County have drawn their 3 Championship away games, averaging 1.67 goals scored and conceded.
Head-to-Head
County did edge to a 2-1 victory over Morton in a League Cup Group D clash 2 years ago but County will need to step it up after relegation last season. Our Greenock Morton vs Ross County prediction will take these past results into account.
Key Players
-
Key players to watch:
- Eamonn Brophy has been in fine form for Morton with 3 goals in 7 Championship appearances.
- Ronan Hale has been on fire with 3 in 6 for County.
- Hale has scored 50% of County’s last 6 Championship goals so both players are clearly in good form, and this should be noted for Greenock Morton vs Ross County betting tips.
Betting Insights
- This is a big game for County, with Morton’s current form making them favourites at +230, and the draw at +220 looks very short considering County are winless in their seven matches so far.
- Backing both teams to score at -125 should ensure a lively scoreline given neither side have been solid defensively this campaign.
Prediction
- I think this will be a tight game and it could easily finish in a draw but Morton have been more impressive overall and home-field advantage may just see them squeeze it, supporting the Greenock Morton vs Ross County prediction.
- This will be a close game, but I am going for Morton to edge it.
