Prediction: 1-0
St Mirren
A place in the FA Cup quarter-finals will be at stake when Motherwell and St. Mirren face each other at Fir Park on Tuesday evening. Motherwell do not seem to be on top of their game ahead of the FA Cup replay, with the team failing to win the previous five games in all competitions. The Well are eager to get back on course and they will not have a better chance than this to do so.
Considering that Stephen Robinson’s troops created several clear-cut opportunities to score in the original fixture (1-1), we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. The Saints, on the other hand, are fully focused on the national championship as they aim to avoid relegation to the Championship. St. Mirren are not regarded as good travellers, and they are unlikely to spoil Motherwell’s party at Fir Park.
