Ross County have scored at least one goal in six of their last seven games. Rangers have conceded at least one goal in five of their last six Premiership games. For this reason, Rangers to win but to concede against Ross County.
The last time both Ross County and Rangers met in the league, the former won 4-0 at home. Rangers won in both halves of the game, hence expecting The Gers to win in the first half vs Ross County.
Ross County are porous at the back as they have conceded 26 goals in 16 matches and Rangers are great going forward, having scored 37 goals in 16 games. Four goals were recorded in the reverse fixture, hence expecting the return leg to produce at least three goals.
The Staggies are struggling in the Scottish Premiership and are only three points ahead of last-placed Dundee United after 16 matches.
Ross County have won four, drawn three and lost nine matches in the league this season so far, for this reason, they are in the relegation zone.
The Gers occupy the 2nd position in the Premiership after 16 matches. They struggled with their form before the World Cup break.
Rangers won three of their last five league matches but they remain six points behind 1st placed Celtic despite playing a game more.

With Rangers’ current form, there’s a chance the Gers could win the game by a two-goal margin.
Although the game is likely to end with over 2.5 goals, betting on over 1.5 goals seems safer.
