SlipsTips: Back Free-scoring Saints - SCCG Management

**Ahead of Ross County’s Clash with St Johnstone**

Ross County and St Johnstone aim to set an early-season tone in Dingwall on Friday night. The teams were favored in the Scottish Championship betting before last weekend’s kickoff.

Ross County didn’t capitalize on a two-goal lead, resulting in a 2-2 draw against Airdrie last Saturday. Meanwhile, St Johnstone overcame relegation woes by defeating Partick Thistle 5-1 at McDiarmid Park.

Given St Johnstone’s strong start, backing the visitors with a +0.25 Asian Handicap at 31/40 (Bet 365) is appealing. This bet profits if Simo Valakari’s team avoids defeat, a promising option considering their season start. St Johnstone not only secured an emphatic win but also excelled in the Scottish League Cup group phase, notably with an 8-0 win over Elgin City.

In contrast, Ross County struggled in the same competition, losing points to Stranraer and facing a 3-1 defeat against Partick Thistle. Their 2-2 draw with Airdrie further highlights challenges before facing an in-form St Johnstone.

With this in mind, supporting the Saints with a +0.25 start on the Asian Handicap looks promising in the Highlands on Friday night.

**Recommended Bet**
– St Johnstone +0.25 Asian Handicap – 31/40 (Bet 365)
