Raith Rovers VS Ross County

Raith Rovers and Ross County lock horns in this Scottish Premiership Relegation Playoffs quarter-finals 1st leg at Stark's Park in Kirkcaldy early Friday morning Beijing time. Officially this is Relegation Playoffs but in reality Raith played in the Championship, the second level of Scottish football, this season. Ross county have played a poor season in the Premiership. Indeed, they netted the ball only 38 times in the regular season. Their number of expected goals (xG) was only 35.05.Furthermore, they allowed 67 goals, the second-highest number in this league. It is hard to mention anything positive about their defence! Ross County took only 35 points and ended up in 11th place in this league with a total of 12 clubs. The level of the Premiership league is relatively low by European standards. We have won a fine seven of the last nine picks betting on the Premiership. The stakes are high and I expect a slightly more defensive, possibly even a bit cautious battle here. Both will surely try to avoid major risks – in an attempt to avoid losing this game by a margin of more than two goals.. In this situation the chances of qualifying would be very narrow. The goal expectancy here is lower than the bookies estimate. Indeed, the probability of under 2.5 total goals to be scored is 56.50%.

Ross County has been in relatively weak form recently – winning only one of their last five games. In their last game they faced Aberdeen at home and it was a 2-2 draw. Ross County were priced around 2.25 to win on the betting market. Let's remember that Aberdeen had nothing to play for in this game.. However, they probably would have won if it was not for A. MacDonald's red card in the 64th minute.. Aberdeen were leading 2-1 at that point. Before this they faced St. Johnstone at home and it was a 1-1 draw after a pretty uneventful and low-level game. The hosts managed more in xG – 0.88-0.42. In round 36, on the 11th of May Ross County were humiliated by Motherwell. The visitors took a 5-1 win – recording seven shots on goal. Poor Ross County managed only two. The Ross County defence was, once again, poorly organized and their defenders made many silly mistakes. Ross County are only moderately the bigger team in terms of players' estimated total market value. Indeed, their squad is valued at some eight million euros. This is a bit too high. With the expected lineups Raith deserve to be solid favourites. We will take the +0.5 goals handicap option. The visitors are missing Allardice, Sheat and Smith. As for the hosts Watson is questionable. I expect the stadium to be sold out here and the atmosphere at Stark's Park will probably be ecstatic! The home advantage must be given enough emphasis here!

The visitors ended up in 2nd place after a better season than most football journalists and bookmakers probably would have estimated before the season started! As a result, I raised their power rating many times as the season progressed! They have improved hugely from last season! The bookies should respect them more here! Raith took an impressive 69 points in the regular season. Raith were not much worse than Dundee United who topped the standings. They scored 58 goals but their number of xG was 59.12. The Raith defence was the second-best in the Championship – they allowed only 42 goals. . Raith have not been quite at their best recently but have still won only one of their last six games! Before the two games in the "Promotion Finals" - officially Relegation Finals -  Raith crushed Airbroath 5-0 at home after an excellent performance! They had 10 shots on target – the visitors managed only two! The win was surely a big boost to their confidence ahead of the two big games against Partick Thistle that were played last week. Raith were narrow underdogs away from home in the 1st leg on the betting market. It was a somewhat balanced clash but Raith played a mature game and won 2-1. The 2nd leg was pretty balanced too. The ball possession was 49-51% and the visitors recorded more goal attempts (28-21) in this surprisingly open game. Raith has more shots off goal, attacks and dangerous attacks though. Raith eventually advanced after penalties. They have a good coach - and a fine team spirit according to my sources.

雷斯流浪者VS罗斯郡

北京时间周五凌晨，苏格兰超级联赛降级季后赛1 / 4决赛首回合，莱斯流浪者队和罗斯郡队将在柯克考迪的斯塔克公园球场展开激战。官方称这是降级季后赛，但实际上Raith本赛季参加了苏格兰足球的二级联赛。罗斯郡在英超踢了一个糟糕的赛季。事实上，他们在常规赛中只有38次进球。他们的预期进球数(xG)只有35.05。此外，他们丢了67个球，在联赛中排名第二。很难对他们的防守提出任何积极的评价!罗斯郡只得到35分，以12支球队的成绩排在联赛第11位。按照欧洲的标准，英超联赛的水平相对较低。在过去的9次英超下注中，我们赢了整整7次。赌注很高，我希望在这里进行一场稍微防御性的战斗，甚至可能有点谨慎。双方都肯定会尽量避免重大风险——试图避免以超过两球的差距输掉这场比赛。在这种情况下，出线的机会将非常渺茫。这里的预期进球比博彩公司估计的要低。事实上，总进球数少于2.5个的概率是56.50%。

罗斯郡最近的状态相对较弱，最近五场比赛只赢了一场。上一场比赛他们在主场与阿伯丁打成2比2平。在博彩市场上，罗斯郡的价格在2.25美元左右。让我们记住，阿伯丁在这场比赛中没有什么可玩的。然而，如果不是麦克唐纳在第64分钟的红牌，他们可能会赢。当时阿伯丁2-1领先。在此之前，他们在主场面对圣约翰斯通，在一场平淡无奇的低水平比赛后，他们以1比1战平。主机在xG - 0.88-0.42中管理得更多。在第36轮，5月11日罗斯郡被马瑟韦尔羞辱。客队以5比1的比分取得了胜利，他们射正了7次。可怜的罗斯县只有两个。罗斯郡的防守又一次组织得很差，他们的后卫犯了很多愚蠢的错误。罗斯郡队在球员的估计总市场价值方面只是稍大一些。事实上，他们的阵容价值约为800万欧元。这有点太高了。凭借预期的阵容，雷斯应该是最受欢迎的。我们将采用+0.5个目标障碍选项。客队缺少阿勒代斯、希特和史密斯。至于主持人沃森则值得怀疑。我预计这里的球场会被卖光，斯塔克公园的气氛可能会欣喜若狂!主场优势在这里必须给予足够的重视!

客队本赛季的表现好于大多数足球记者和博彩公司在赛季开始前的估计，最终排名第二!因此，随着赛季的进展，我多次提高了他们的能量等级!他们比上赛季进步了很多!这里的博彩公司应该更尊重他们!Raith在常规赛中得到了令人印象深刻的69分。雷斯的表现并不比排名第一的邓迪联队差多少。他们进了58个球，但是他们的进球数是59.12。雷斯队的防守是联赛中第二好的，他们只丢了42个球。雷斯最近并没有达到他们的最佳状态，但他们在过去的六场比赛中只赢了一场!在“升级决赛”——正式的降级决赛——之前的两场比赛中，Raith在主场以5-0大胜Airbroath。他们射正了10次，而客队只射正了2次!这场胜利无疑极大地提升了他们的信心，因为他们将在上周与帕特克·西斯尔进行两场重要的比赛。在第一回合的博彩市场上，雷斯队在客场比赛中处于劣势。这是一场平衡的比赛，但Raith打得很成熟，以2-1获胜。第二回合也很平衡。控球率为49比51%，客队的进球次数也更多(28比21)。雷斯有更多的射门，进攻和危险的进攻。雷斯最终在点球后晋级。根据我的消息来源，他们有一个很好的教练和良好的团队精神。
