Ross County vs Arbroath – Match Preview
Betfred Cup – Group D – Game 3 – Season 2020/2021
Tuesday 13th October 2020, The Global Energy Stadium, Dingwall – 7.45pm kick off
Arbroath make the long trip to Dingwall today for their 3rd game in a week. Having scored 5 goals and leading Group D with 6 points out of 6 this is definitely the hardest the Lichties have faced since their return to action with a game against Premiership Ross County.
Ross County took a 3 goal lead last Tuesday against Montrose, but the Links Park side made a remarkable comeback scoring 3 goals before losing out on a bonus point in the penalty shoot out.
County have won 3 games, drawn 2 and lost 5 in the Premiership and the last time the two sides met Arbroath won 4-1 thanks to a Michael McKenna hat-trick after Tony Dingwall was sent off the Stages.
Arbroath Manager Dick Campbell is likely to make changes this evening having made 6 changes on Saturday as tries to get his entire team up to full fitness.
Mark Whatley will be missing whilst Colin Hamilton and Scott Stewart picked up knocks on Saturday.
