Ross County
- Ross County have won their last 5 games, including their sole match in 2026-2027, while Montrose have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5.
- Ross County are unbeaten in their last 2 home games, winning them both, while Montrose have lost their last 2.
Montrose
Montrose are in mixed-to-poor form after a 0-2 home defeat to Spartans in League Cup Group B was followed up by a 0-5 blowout by Hamilton Academical in their League One opener at home.
Ross County
- Stuart Kettlewell's ongoing rebuild of the club has brought a more proactive, higher-tempo identity to the club that appears to suit players like Brian Graham and Adam Emslie.
- Brian is the team's talisman, having scored 4 of the 8 goals Ross County have scored in their last 5 matches and 1 of their 1 in League One so far.
- Emslie is currently with 1 assist in 1 appearance, while his final third penetration and sharp pass has been a key addition to the side.
Montrose
- Ewan Loudon has been Montrose's biggest threat in their recent spell, netting 3 of the 5 that they've scored in their last 5.
- Stewart Petrie has kept the League One club organized, low risk and defensively disciplined for years and his 4-4-2 is set up to protect the back four and punish opponents for leaving gaps in behind.
Betting Insights
- Ross County enter Saturday's game as the red-hot favorites in the market at 1.33, while visiting Montrose are a tempting 8.5 and the draw is 5.0.
- We're getting them at an very tight 1.95 in the both teams to score market while 'no' is 1.75 and over 2.5 goals is 1.62, so the value looks to be with the home side to win.
- A Ross County win to nil does look like a smart alternative angle to take if the hosts can pin the visitors back early with their press and take advantage of any counterattacking opportunities as the game wears on.
Prediction
A Ross County win to nil is a smart alternative if the hosts can press early and limit Montrose's chances.
