Motherwell
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Kilmarnock
Fir Park will host Saturday’s Premiership game between Motherwell and Kilmarnock, the two teams who are level on points in the standings ahead of Matchday 3. The Well aim to build on a 2-1 win over Hibernian, but this clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Calum Butcher continues to miss out with a foot injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Killie, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a historical 1-0 win over Celtic in the League Cup last 16, but beating Motherwell on the road is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, we believe that both teams should be happy with one point from the match. There are no injury worries in the visiting team, except for Ben Chrisene, who has yet to recover from a knee injury.
