Betfred Cup: St Johnstone v Ross County betting preview, free tip & TV channel

BT Sport 1, 3pm Sunday

Ross County have a chance to upset injury-ravaged St Johnstone in the Betfred Cup in Perth.

The newly-promoted Dingwall men have started their campaign in fine fashion with four goals in both games, albeit against Montrose and Brechin.

In contrast, St Johnstone have been toiling badly with a lack of bodies and Tommy Wright's men even crashed to a shock defeat at the same Montrose side that County brushed aside.

The McDiarmid Park men should have a couple of players back for this contest, but County are full of confidence with the fit-again Billy McKay and Ross Stewart forming a strong pairing up front.

And they will fancy their chances against a Saints side who look vulnerable at the back.
