Prediction: 2-1
Motherwell
Aberdeen and Motherwell face each other at Pittodrie Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Wednesday’s program. The Dons are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and the good news for Aberdeen fans is that key attacker Sam Cosgrove returns to the starting line-up after serving his ban. You should bear in mind that the Dons are eyeing their seventh home win of the season.
The Well, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to Hamilton Academical in their last league match, meaning that the lack of confidence could be the team’s biggest problem in the Pittodrie Stadium clash. As previously mentioned, Derek McInnes’ troops have been impressive at home ground this season, which is the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the hosts.
