Prediction: 1-0
Motherwell
Dundee United and Motherwell face each other at Tannadice Park in what is expected to be a close encounter. Dundee United did well to put an end to their three-game winless run in the Premier League on Wednesday evening, with the team beating Kilmarnock 2-0 at home ground. The Terrors are eyeing their fifth home win of the season, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s football match.
Motherwell, on the other hand, failed to win the previous seven league fixtures. The Well have been totally out of form of late, and given Dundee United’s fine home record, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Terrors. In their last meeting in the Premiership Dundee United defeated Motherwell 1-0, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
