Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Saturday’s football game at Tannadice Park pits together Dundee United and Motherwell, the two teams who were beaten by St. Mirren and Aberdeen respectively on Matchday 12. The Terrors sit in the penultimate place in the standings with only nine point in their pocket, but they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Experienced attacker Steven Fletcher, who scored as a substitute against the Saints, is pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Well, on the other hand, have been slipping down the standings week by week, and given their three-game losing run in the national championship, home win should be considered. As for the away team, all Louis Moult, Rolando Aarons, and Nathan McGinley are sidelined with injuries.
