- Ross County have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five Championship fixtures.
- Greenock Morton have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five Championship games.
- Morton have won two and drawn one of the last three meetings between the two sides, while Ross County have failed to win any of those games.
Championship pair still have plenty to play for
Greenock Morton are eighth in the Championship 2025-2026 table on 37 points from 34 matches, Ross County are tenth and have six points less from the same number of games.
So both clubs have plenty still to play for when they face off in the Championship on Saturday and we’re expecting an exciting fixture that could be won by either side.
Ian Murray has had a marked influence on Morton since he took charge in January 2026, bringing a structured and patient build-up style of play, a focus on using the width of the pitch and a disciplined midblock that can be used to control the ball when out of possession.
They also provide a steady stream of set-piece opportunities for Morton to exploit against most opponents in this division, and that’s exactly what they have done under Murray.
Direct transitions should suit hosts
Stuart Kettlewell has also had an impact on Ross County’s fortunes since he returned to the club in late December 2025.
He’s set his side up in a pragmatic way that likes to keep it simple and defend compactly before launching sharp vertical transitions in a similar way to the modern day Netherlands national side.
At times they will press in the advanced areas, but they are a team of direct players who can be caught by teams that can maintain their shape and resist County’s initial pressure.
Kettlewell’s side have just one win, one draw and three defeats from their last five Championship matches, although they did lose 0-4 at home to Airdrieonians last time out.
Ross County have won only one of their last three home games, with one win, one draw and one loss in their previous three home fixtures.
Greenock Morton’s away form has been inconsistent, with one win and two defeats from their last three trips, but the visitors are favoured to come away with the points from their final away game of the Championship season.
Expect goals at both ends on Saturday
Morton are 51/20 to win this game, which is our main prediction for Saturday’s match-up, and we’re taking that price because the Ton have won two of the last three meetings between these sides.
We also feel an open and end-to-end game is on the cards as Morton’s patient build-up will get mixed up when County force them to turn the ball over.
Eamonn Brophy has six league goals for Morton this term from 21 league games - more than any other player in the squad. Kieran Phillips has two of County’s last five and we’re going to support both teams to score - Yes in this game at 3/4.
The odds for over 2.5 goals are 89/100, which seems a bit short given the nature of the two teams. But we’re supporting the over option as the hosts average 1.18 goals per home game and Morton average 1.18 per away trip.
