Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Saturday’s football game at Fir Park pits together Motherwell and St. Mirren, the two teams who are eyeing a top-six finish. The Well aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Aberdeen and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in the round 31 clash. Fit-again midfielder Andy Halliday is pushing for his first start since February 6, while all Jonathan Obika, Harry Paton, and Adam Montgomery remain in the treatment room.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 5-2 loss to Kilmarnock. As both sides will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Ryan Strain should be the only absentee in the away team as the midfielder has yet to overcome a groin injury. Keep in mind, though, that the two sides played out a goalless draw in their last meeting in the Scottish top flight.
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.
