Raith Rovers
- Raith Rovers have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five games.
- Raith Rovers last played away from home when they drew 0-0 at Greenock Morton.

Head-to-Head
- Ross County are 10th in the Championship 2025/2026 with 23 points from 25 games, while Raith Rovers are 5th with 30 points from 26 matches, playing for a playoff spot.

Key Players
- Ronan Hale is Ross County’s top goalscorer this season with seven goals in 19 Championship appearances, while Jack Hamilton has three in his last five for Raith Rovers.

Betting Insights
- The bookmakers have Ross County 2.52 favourites to win this game, with Raith Rovers coming in at 2.76.
- The gap between the two clubs is too tight to confidently back either side, but the Under 2.5 goals bet at 1.65 looks very good with County averaging just over a goal a game at home and Raith’s away average is well below one.
Prediction
County are the most likely to nick this one with a tight win, but it would be a surprise if this one featured more than two goals .
