Prediction: 1-1
St Johnstone
A place in the League Cup quarter-finals will be at stake when Motherwell and St. Johnstone face each other at Fir Park on Saturday afternoon. The Well have been having their ups and downs in the Premier League this season, and, as a result, they sit in the seventh place in the standings. The Saints are only one point behind Motherwell in the Premiership table, meaning that a close encounter is on the cards at Fir Park.
When the two teams met in the national championship at the weekend they shared the spoils (1-1), which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on draw. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of their previous six meetings in all competitions. Murray Davidson is likely to miss the game with injury for the visitors, while Fox, Dunne, Connelly, Carson, and Carroll remain in the recovery room for the hosts.
