Prediction: 1-1
St Mirren
In Saturday’s football game at Fir Park pits together Motherwell and St Mirren, the two top-table sides. The Well are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Important defender Paul McGinn serves a one-game ban, while all Conor Wilkinson, Pape Souare, Mika Biereth, Jonathan Obika, and Calum Butcher are out of contention with injuries.
The Saints, meanwhile, aim to remain undefeated in the 2023/2024 Premiership campaign and given the number of absentees in the home team, we predict that they are going to grab something from the match. St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson has a luxury to field the best possible side against Motherwell. In their last encounter in the Scottish top flight Motherwell defeated St Mirren 2-1, but we are tempted to put our money on draw this time out as the two sides seem to be evenly matched.
Highlighted Team (St Mirren):
