Home side in slump
Ross County have struggled recently, failing to win any of their last five matches. They lost 3-1 away at Partick Thistle in their penultimate fixture before being held to a 2-2 draw at home to Dunfermline Athletic.
County currently sit 9th in the Championship 2025/2026 after 31 games, just one point ahead of 10th-placed Airdrieonians FC.
The home side have four wins, three draws and eight losses in their 15 home games in the Championship 2025/2026. They have scored an average of 1.20 goals per home game, conceding 1.53 goals per game.
Stuart Kettlewell, appointed as Ross County’s manager in December 2025, has implemented a pragmatic approach to the team with County setting up in a low block, looking to transition quickly and counter-attack. In terms of recent goals, Kieran Phillips has been in fine form for the home team, scoring two of County’s last three goals, but Ronan Hale leads the way this season with seven goals in 19 Championship 2025/2026 appearances.
Airdrieonians in the thick of it
Airdrieonians FC’s form over the last few weeks has been patchy, with one win, one draw and three losses from their last five Championship 2025/2026 fixtures.
The visitors have the same away record as Ross County this season, winning four, drawing three and losing eight from 15 games. They have, however, scored only 14 times on their travels this term.
Aaron Taylor-Sinclair took charge of Airdrieonians FC in October 2025 and has since changed their style of play, although the high-tempo, high-pressing style remains prevalent. The visitors like to make good use of the wide areas and press high up the pitch.
The away side have seen Dominic Thomas score two of their last five goals, providing a spark in the offensive third. Euan Henderson leads the line in the Championship 2025/2026, however, with nine goals in 30 games.

Tight match anticipated
Tactical contrast
The difference in styles of play will certainly be interesting in this matchup, with Ross County preferring a more pragmatic, defensive style of soccer and Airdrieonians FC more in your face, going forward and pressing high. This could lead to a tense, cagey matchup.
Odds and prediction
With both teams struggling to score recently and with Ross County set up to be solid defensively while Airdrieonians press high, one or both may fail to score. The odds for both teams to not score are a generous 1.95, with the odds for the draw coming in at 3.4. Given that both sides have been struggling recently, a low-scoring draw looks the most likely outcome, with the unders also coming in at 1.9 for under 2.5 goals.
