The build-up has begun as Ross County takes on Forfar Athletic in Challenge Cup, an encounter both sides will have circled on the calendar. Kick-off arrives on
Across Scotland, games of this nature remain a popular draw.
Tactical organisation could shape the outcome as both sides prepare their approach. How will each side respond to pressure in key moments? There is plenty for each coaching staff to weigh before kick-off once the whistle blows.
Hard-nosed betting view:
If you’re playing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Ross County at 1.2 to win feels tight given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the Challenge Cup this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re due a regression — stats nerds would avoid.
Forfar Athletic’s 9.1 line intrigues, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The wise guys’ll likely poke at the Draw 6.4 — these derbies often follow scripts, and nerves can stifle attacking flow.
