Ross County need to win their final league game of the season to avoid going into a Scottish Premiership relegation play-off. They are 11th in the table and on Sunday are home to Motherwell who are in eighth position. Here's our match preview.
County are safe from automatic relegation to the Scottish Championship. With this final game to be played, they are two points behind Dundee who are away to relegated St Johnstone. A point there will doom County to the play-offs unless they can score at least six against Motherwell..
Ross County drew at Dundee in midweek. They came home with a valuable point after equalizing via a 96th minute penalty. That draw ended a run of seven consecutive league defeats.
Home form has produced five league wins but the last three have all been lost. The most recent saw them take the lead but lose 3-1 to Hearts.
Motherwell will be difficult opponents to get a win against. The visitors have won three of their last four league matches. Their most recent game was on Wednesday when they beat Kilmarnock 3-0 at home.
On their travels, Motherwell have won six league games this season but lost 12. That includes a loss at Ross County last December. We go for both teams to score in this match.
