- Partick Thistle have won 10 and tied 5 of their 15 home matches in the Championship 2025/2026.
Ross County
Ross County have won 1, tied 2 and lost 2 of their last 5, sitting ninth in the Championship 2025/2026 on 28 points from 30 matches.
Head-to-Head
- Partick Thistle have taken a win and a draw in their last two matches - a gritty 1-0 win away at Greenock Morton and a goalless tie at home to St. Johnstone - whilst Ross County lost 1-0 away at St. Johnstone and drew 2-2 at home to Dunfermline Athletic.
- Since taking over as manager in May 2025, Mark Wilson has instilled a very proactive and high-intensity approach onto his Partick players, where fluidity and rotation of a fast-paced frontline and coordinated pressing ensures they dominate the ball and create chances.
- Ross County, meanwhile, have been very compact and disciplined since Stuart Kettlewell took over in late December 2025.
- They build up slowly and patiently before looking to get men behind the ball quickly when they make forward transitions.
- Partick have won 10 and drawn 5 of their 15 games at Firhill, and Ross County have never won at Thistle in recent memory.
- With Ross County travelling poorly and Partick second in the table, it seems unlikely that the Staggies will get anything from this fixture.
Key Players
- Partick have the talent and the depth to control the game, but Ross County are very good defensively.
-
Key players to watch:
- Logan Chalmers has been a key contributor to their success, scoring 8 times in 27 Championship appearances this term.
- Alex Samuel, meanwhile, has scored 2 of the Jags’ last 5 goals, and is an energetic presence in the attacking third.
- Ronan Hale has been in fine form of late, finding the net 7 times in 19 league appearances this term.
Betting Insights
- Odds for BTTS - No at 1.84 and Total Score Under 2.5 at 1.76 are good value.
- The home win odds of 1.72 make more sense as we see Partick controlling the game and securing the win in an entertaining match.
Prediction
- We feel Partick should edge this contest and take the spoils thanks to their unbeaten home form and superior squad depth.
- We think Ross County will keep things tight at the back and make this a low-scoring match.
