A potentially decisive match in the race for European football.

Fourth-placed Dundee United look well placed to take one of the two Europa Conference League qualifying positions.

Thus, these two clubs may well be fighting it out for fifth and, with just a point between them at kick off, this game will prove pivotal.

The Staggies held Heart of Midlothian to a goalless draw last weekend, so have only lost three of their last 13 games.

It took until 27 October for Malky Mackay’s men to win a game this season, so European qualification would represent a remarkable turn around.

Motherwell meanwhile returned to continental competition two years ago, beating Glentoran an Coleraine, before bowing out to Hapoel Be’er Sheva.

More recently, last weekend in fact, the Steelmen’s top five hopes suffered a blow as they were beaten 1-0 at Tannadice.

So, Graham Alexander’s side have only won one of 16 league games this calendar year, needing to improve on that in their remaining three games.

Will Ross County take a gigantic step towards European football, or will Motherwell leapfrog their hosts with victory in Dingwall?

Regan Charles-Cook is the host’s talisman, having scored 13 goals this season, which means he’s set to win the Premiership’s golden boot.

Although, the Grenada international is now without a goal in eight appearances.

Stephen O’Donnell missed last weekend’s defeat due to injury but will be hoping to return for this one.

With Barry Maguire out, Sean Goss and Callum Slattery will continue in midfield.
