The second leg of the SPL playoffs is set to take place on Sunday as the race for a place in next season’s SPL continues. Partick Thistle hold a healthy advantage coming into the second leg, which will take place at Ross County this weekend.
SPL Playoffs Preview
The final match of the Scottish domestic season will be held on Sunday to determine the final team competing in next season’s SPL. The second leg of the SPL playoffs will take place at Global Energy Stadium, with Ross County having the crucial home advantage as they attempt to overturn a 2-0 first leg deficit.
In the first leg, things didn’t go well for Ross County, as Partick Thistle raced into a 2-0 lead at half time. Aidan Fitzpatrick put the second tier team ahead after just nine minutes, and less than ten minutes later, Ross County were reduced to ten men when Dylan Smith received a red card.
Brian Graham scored for Partick before the half time break, but they didn’t manage to get another goal in the second half, despite having 25 shots. Ross County were on the back foot throughout, playing defensive football to avoid suffering a heavier defeat. They didn’t have a single shot on target, but they will need an early goal in the second leg to revive their hopes.
