A classic Scottish football style clash
Ross County are the favourites for this game at 16/25, with Airdrieonians 16/5 and the draw 3/1.
The visitors are the form favourites in this one and appear to be in much better nick than the hosts ahead of this fixture. County have won 4 of their last 5.
The Staggies' response was to beat Annan Athletic 3-0 at home in League Cup Group D 2026, and then grind out a tough 1-1 draw with Dundee FC before winning that game 7-6 in a penalty shootout.
Stuart Kettlewell has them drilled in a compact, organisation-first shape, built for discipline, second balls, and quick counterpunches, while John Rankin has his men playing a much more constructive and possession-based game.
That setup should make for a classic possession vs structure battle where Airdrieonians will look to stretch the home side and Ross County will look to strike in transition.
Ross County have the edge
Ross County look the more likely winners here but the odds and the recent head-to-head suggests that Airdrieonians can make this a real battle.
The hosts got the better of County 4-0 away in Championship 2025/2026 3 months ago but they haven't won either of their previous 2 at home against them. The head-to-head is level at 2 wins apiece from the last 4 meetings between these sides.
Over 2.5 goals at 11/20 and both teams to score at 11/20 both look tempting in this game, with an open contest likely, but the bet that suits best is Ross County to win.
Ross County have looked sharp on the road in League Cup Group D 2026, winning their only game and scoring 4.00 goals on average while conceding 1.00.
Airdrieonians have looked solid at home with 1 win from 1.
Ross County have 8 points from 3 games to lead Group D and Airdrieonians sit 4th on 3 points. Ross County should have the quality to come away with the points, but Airdrie's home advantage and recent head-to-head form suggests this could still be a tricky game.
Brian Graham is Ross County's danger man in this clash and with 5 of his 9 goals for the club having come in the last 5 games, there's a good chance the Staggies can edge this one.
