Recent respective form guides

Raith Rovers's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Rovers have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Ross County's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. The County's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Raith Rovers are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 19 points from 21 matches. Ross County's 34 points from 22 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
