Recent respective form guides

Raith Rovers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Rovers have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Ross County is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the County have hit 6 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Raith Rovers find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 20 games have yielded only 7 points. Ross County are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 23 points from 20 matches.
