Partick Thistle will take on Ross County in the Scottish Premiership play-off final for both teams at the Firhill Stadium on Thursday. Partick Thistle are looking to win promotion to the top tier of the Scottish league, while Ross County are looking to avoid relegation.
Partick Thistle have been in good form in recent weeks and are unbeaten in their last 10 games. They have won their last four games back-to-back and will be confident of getting a result against Ross County.
Ross County have been struggling for form in recent weeks, losing two out of their last three games. They have conceded 14 goals in their last six games, and they will need to improve their defensive record if they are to avoid relegation.
The game is likely to be a close one, and it could go either way. Partick Thistle will be the slight favourites due to their recent form, but Ross County have the potential to bounce back.
