In this week 7 match, on Sat Sep 10th, Ross County plays host to Motherwell in a clash of these two closely matched Premiership teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, 10th placed Ross County, recorded a 1-1 draw against Aberdeen. Luis Lopes struck first for Aberdeen in the 88th minute on a feed from Jonny Hayes, then William Akio tied it up for Ross County in the 5th minute of the second half’s stoppage time earning Ross County a comeback draw. Ross County looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Motherwell recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Dundee United. Neither Motherwell nor Dundee United could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 20 and 11 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Motherwell is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 2 wins each.
Motherwell’s top weapon lately has been Kevin van Veen, who has 3 goals in the last five matches. Alex Iacovitti and Owura Edwards are the top scorers for Ross County in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
