Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Saturday’s football game at Fir Park pits together Motherwell and St Johnstone, the two teams who are level on points in the Premiership standings. The Well failed to win the previous twelve league matches and they must be low on confidence following a 3-0 loss to Ross County. Harry Paton is back from suspension, while both Lennon Miller and Pape Souare continue to miss out with injuries.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over St. Mirren. St Johnstone, though, have been struggling on the travels this term and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from the Fir Park clash. Maksym Kucheriavyi limped off with injury in the midweek game, with Sven Sprangler likely to step up. The likes of Nicky Clark, Sam McClelland, Drey Wright, and Alistair Crawford remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Team (Motherwell):
Motherwell are professional football club that compete in the Scotland Premiership. The Steelmen play home games at Fir Park, the stadium which can hold up to 13,677 spectators, wearing amber and claret shirts.
White, on the other hand, is the dominant colour of the club’s away kit. Founded in 1886, Motherwell won their first domestic trophy in the 1931/32 season, leaving Scottish giants Rangers and Celtic behind them in the standings. Speaking of the Scottish Cup, the Steelmen have two titles in the cup competition. In the 1951/52 season, Motherwell defeated Dundee 4-0 in the Scottish Cup final, with the team repeating the success 39 years later as they outplayed Dundee United 4-3 in the title game.
The likes of Hamilton Academical and Airdrieonians are regarded as the club’s bitterest rivals. The games between these clubs are known as the Lanarkshire derby. Hughie Ferguson is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart as he netted 284 goals for the Steelmen in league matches.
