Montrose
- Montrose have won 2 of their last 5 and lost the other 3.
- Montrose are fourth in the table with 15 points from 9 and have a good manager in Stewart Petrie, who has been in charge since 4 December 2016.
- He has overseen a long period of stability for the club and they are a compact, pragmatic unit that are usually set up in a flexible 4-2-3-1 to cover all areas of the pitch.
- Petrie's men have won three and lost one of their four home games in League One 2026/2027, conceding an average of 1.75 goals.
Ross County
- Ross County have won 5 of their last 5 in all competitions, including three wins and a draw in their last 4 away trips.
- Stuart Kettlewell's Staggies have been excellent, building up a 5-game winning streak across all competitions.
- County have made a seamless transition to a possession-based game with a higher tempo pressing game designed to win the ball back quickly and overload the middle third.
- Kettlewell has had plenty of time to drill his side since taking over on 29 December 2025 and they are flying at the top of the table with 22 points from 8 games.
Key Players
Brian Graham is County's main scoring threat with 6 goals in 7 League One 2026/2027 appearances while Gary Oliver is the danger man for Montrose, who lead the scoring charts in the division with 5 in 8 .
Betting Insights
- Ross County are an incredible 1.4 to beat Montrose in Saturday's League One 2026/2027 clash, which seems a bit on the short side considering the Gable Endies are in mixed-to-poor nick ahead of this weekend's game at Links Park, Scotland.
- But Montrose are the home side and can keep this close enough for an under 2.5 goals wager to provide a sensible alternative to the 7.1 and 5.11 on offer for them and the draw.
Prediction
- The Staggies have an unbeaten record on the road in this division with an average of 2.00 scored and 0.75 conceded, so the logic says an away win is the way to go.
- The visitors have won 3 of their 4 previous away games and seem well-placed to add Montrose to the list, but the hosts could keep it close enough to keep the under 2.5 goals option alive.
