Ross County vs Rangers Prediction: Rangers confident of replicating their midweek performance

Global Energy Stadium will host the Scottish Premiership encounter between Ross County and Rangers. Rangers pulled off a strong win in their last game. How will Ross County approach this encounter?

Ross County played Celtic away from home the previous weekend and lost heavily. In a game that ended 5-0, Ross County had only one shot on target, handing them their second defeat in five matches. In other encounters, this team drew Hibernian and St. Mirren, encounters that ended goalless. However, Ross County's best outcome in recent encounters was a win over Motherwell in the week 13 Premiership encounter, which ended 2-1. Heading into this game, the home team has 15 points from 15 matches, averaging a point per game while they sit 8th. 

Rangers took on Kilmarnock midweek and pulled off a 6-0 win. In that game, Rangers had 72 per cent of the possession and attempted 28 shots, with 11 on target. In the meantime, a James Tavernier goal put this team in the lead before the break, with Danilo, Hamza Igamane, Vaclav Cerny, and Cyriel Dessers' brace being enough to see them take maximum points. Heading into this game, Rangers have 29 points from 14 matches, leaving them seated in the third spot. 

Rangers are the side for the job, and I can trust them to dominate this fixture after a strong performance last time out. However, Ross County at home have much to give after struggling the previous time out against Celtic. Yet, I believe the better team is Rangers, and with their performance in this fixture and Ross County's weak play lately, a win in each half for Rangers with goals is the best option.
