Ross County have made an excellent start to the season, and I think they can maintain that momentum when they travel to Airdrie on Saturday.

Stuart Kettlewell's side have quickly put any concerns over a relegation hangover to bed, topping a Scottish League Cup group that included top-flight outfit Dundee.

They carried that form into the league, winning each of their opening two fixtures before producing another impressive result last weekend by beating Dunfermline 2-1 away from home to book their place in the League Cup quarter-finals.

Airdrie, meanwhile, are still searching for their first league victory after drawing their opening two matches before being hammered 4-0 by Hamilton last weekend. 

That setback will hardly fill the Diamonds with confidence ahead of the visit of a Ross County side that are playing with plenty of confidence at the moment.

I really fancy goals here, I’ve taken 2.5 in my SPFL acca too - but I’m bringing it down a level here for this double since the target odds are evens.

There's usually no shortage of goalmouth action when East Kilbride are involved, and I expect more of the same when they travel to Montrose on Saturday.

Mick Kennedy's side have adapted well to life in Scottish League One, with their games proving just as goal-heavy as they were last season. 

Over 2.5 goals has landed in two of their opening three league games, while all four of their Scottish League Cup matches also cleared that line. 

The case for overs is strengthened further by Montrose's own record, with each of their opening three league games producing at least three goals. 

That includes a 5-0 home defeat to Hamilton on the opening day, while Stuart Petrie's side also pushed title favourites Ross County close in a 2-1 defeat a fortnight ago. 

That suggests the hosts can play their part in what has the makings of another high-scoring affair.

Everton have won five of their last six home games against Palace.

There’s been a big turnover in the playing squad and in the dugout at Palace over the summer, while continuity at Everton has them in a more reliable position to hit the ground running on the opening weekend.

Christian Norgaard and Hayden Hackney have freshened up their midfield options, while the Brennan Johnson and Dwight McNeil swap deal adds some spice to the occasion.

It’s unlikely that Pierre Sage has the same success that Oliver Glasner had with Palace, and after losing Marc Guehi in January, they’ve lost Maxence Lacroix this summer, so their backline can’t be trusted to the same extent.

Everton are unbeaten in 11 against Palace, and will be targeting European football themselves this term.

We know what we’re going to get with David Moyes’ Everton, the same cannot be said about Sage’s Palace.

Birmingham look like one of the strongest match odds bets of the weekend.

Bristol City have spent a tonne of cash on getting the best two strikers from League One last season, it feels too simplistic.

They were well beaten at home to Millwall, 2-0, last weekend, with Adam Randell sent off for two yellows after 36 minutes.

Birmingham were really impressive in their 0-0 draw at Sheffield United, it was a poor game, but to limit the Blades to so little on their own patch was eye-catching.

Sheff Utd had just three shots, to Birmingham's 10, in the whole game. We'll find out in the coming weeks if that was an outstanding defensive display or if the Blades are a weak attacking side.

For now, I'm happy to bet that it was the former and that Blues can build on their promising first season back in the Championship last term, when they finished two spots ahead of Bristol City (10th and 12th).

The 98th-minute limbs masked an underwhelming return to the Championship from Cardiff on Monday night.

They trailed Wrexham from the 3rd minute to the 98th, and could only muster nine shots in total.

Cardiff were second-best, keeper, Nathan Trott, made seven saves to keep them in the game.

Derby were edged out 2-1 at Charlton on the opening day, but have plenty of Championship pedigree, and proven firepower at the top of the pitch in Carlton Morris and Sammie Szmodics, that could make light work of Cardiff’s unproven defensive unit.

Cardiff finished 12 points behind Lincoln in League One last season, while Derby missed out on the play-offs by just four points, that gap in quality could be clear to see at Pride Park.

Rovers looked good in spells in their opening weekend 3-2 defeat at York City.

Newport won 3-0 at home to Rochdale, but that doesn’t yet change the expectation that Bristol Rovers will be battling for promotion and Newport will be battling for survival this season.

The Gas won both meetings between the sides last season, with the most recent being a comfortable 3-0 home win in January.

Newport could only muster 0.41 xG that day and had only three shots from inside the box.

There’s a clear gap in quality between these sides which’ll become evident in the league table in the coming months.

I'm keen to back Hamilton to pick up another win when they travel to East Fife on Saturday.

Darian McKinnon's men have hit the ground running in Scottish League One, taking maximum points from each of their opening three matches. 

They thumped Montrose 5-0 on the road on the opening weekend and put four past Airdrie last Saturday to move to the top of the table. 

The Accies also fired in five against Elgin in the League Cup before the league campaign got underway, so they should head to Bayview brimming with confidence.

As for East Fife, they have made a mixed start to the campaign, picking up one win and a draw before losing 2-1 away to Peterhead last weekend.

The Fifers face a serious step up in class this weekend, and I fancy Hamilton to bank all three points at Bayview.

I think Dunfermline can get on the scoresheet at least once when they travel to Livingston in the Scottish Championship on Saturday afternoon.

Neil Lennon's side have made a mixed start to the season, but they have generally been reliable in front of goal, netting 12 times across their opening seven games. 

Notably, Dunfermline secured a 1-0 victory away to top-flight St Mirren during the League Cup group stage.

Livingston, meanwhile, were comfortably beaten 2-0 by Partick Thistle in their last outing and could consider themselves fortunate not to have suffered a heavier defeat. 

The Lions also conceded when playing host to Partick during the League Cup group stage, and Dunfermline should provide a similar test on Saturday.

Neither Morton nor Arbroath have had much to shout about during the opening weeks of the season, but I fancy the visitors to come away from Cappielow with something to show for their efforts.

It has been a miserable start to the campaign for Morton, who lost all 4 of their Scottish League Cup group stage games before coming away empty-handed from each of their opening 2 league fixtures. 

There is also no shortage of issues behind the scenes, with Ian Murray admitting that the club could be forced to forfeit matches given how stretched his squad is.

Arbroath are also searching for their first league win of the season, but they at least got themselves on the board with a goalless draw against Inverness last time out. 

The Red Lichties also picked up a couple of wins in the League Cup, so I think they can avoid defeat in Greenock on Saturday afternoon.
