Apart from the glam and the glory of the premier league, their Scottish counterparts also have a league worth keeping an eye on from time to time. In the Scottish championship which is the 2nd tier league in the country, teams fight for a place in the promotion. Others fight to stay in the playoffs while others really do not have much to fight for. Therefore, when table toppers Ross County comes face to face with Dundee United, they would be facing a game which needs to be won in order to fully assert their dominance in the league.
Ross County
Ross County has had a wonderful season. This has been seen in the fact that they have topped the league. The gap between them and 2nd place is currently 11 points. They are coasting to promotion at the moment in the league. Their total points currently stand at 56 points. There is surely nothing more standing in their way. However, things would surely get a little awkward when they get to meet their closest rival Dundee United in their own home. They would be conscious of the fact that playing away from home would give their opponents a psychological edge over them. This would be something that they would want to avoid.
Dundee United
Dundee United are a team which would be happy with how far they have come in the league. They are currently 2nd place in the league this season. They lead the 3rd placed team with about 3 points. The battle for promotion in the league would keep on hotter and hotter. They are currently on 46 points in the league. They would be hoping that they would be able to keep pace with their opponents and keep the chasing pack away. However, to achieve this aim, they would have to win their game against Ross County. That would prove to be a difficult task indeed
Form
Another thing that could decide this match is the form of both teams. Dundee has had a lukewarm form in recent times. They have managed to win three of the last six games. However, their recent matches have ended in two losses. They would be hoping to change all that when they welcome Ross County to their homes. It promises to be a fascinating match and on which Dundee United would fully intend to win.
Ross County, on the other hand, would be in good shape heading into this game. They have managed to win five of their six games this season. The remaining match has ended in just a draw. They are currently on a five-match winning streak and are unbeaten in six games. There is just so much that has been established in such little time. They would no doubt have the full confidence of themselves when they visit Dundee United.
The Scottish league promises to have a fulfilling and exciting end to the season. The outcome of this match would have an effect on how this season turns out.
