Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Motherwell and St Johnstone face each other at Fir Park in what is expected to be an exciting Premiership game. The Well aim to make amends for a 3-0 loss to Hibernian and the fact that they rolled over Livingston 4-1 in their last home game is surely fuelling fans with optimism. All Maguire, Obika, and Slattery should miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Saints, on the other hand, are desperate to escape the relegation zone. As the relegation-threatened visitors want this win more than the hosts, away win should be considered. Both Ross Sinclair and Sven Sprangler are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in five of the previous six meetings between the two sides in the Scottish top flight.

Speaking of the Scottish Cup, the Steelmen have two titles in the cup competition.

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.
