Ross County
- Ross County will be the likelier winners when they host Queen of the South at Global Energy Stadium on Tuesday but the Doonhamers are a decent side with a solid goalkeeper and they should be able to put an answer to the Staggies' questions.
- County are 2nd in League One 2026/2027 with 13 points from 5 games after their early-season push put them at the front of the promotion race.
- Stuart Kettlewell's side are a flexible unit and play in a back three one week and a back four the next.
- They are always a threat, however, as they use their wing-backs to press and whip the ball forward in quick transitions when they win it back.
- Brian Graham is their chief danger man with 4 goals in 5 League One 2026/2027 matches and they've got a real foxy at the other end in Kieran Phillips who has hit five of the Staggies' 15 goals in all competitions during this run of games.
Queen of the South
- Queen of the South are 9th in the table with 3 points from 5, which means they need a boost when they go on the road this Tuesday.
- Nicky Clark has installed a more structured system at the Doonhamers, which is much more possession-based than before and, while they have been more comfortable in a compact 4-2-3-1, they have lacked bite at times.
- They held East Fife to a 2-2 away tie in League One 2026/2027 last time out, but that was followed by a 3-4 home loss against Aberdeen FC II in the Scottish Challenge Cup, which must have felt like a defeat.
- Cole Coughlin has been their most prolific player so far in the league, netting once in 5 appearances, so they need more from the other runners if they are to get a result at Global Energy Stadium.
