Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Kilmarnock will look to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Ross County when they host Motherwell to their Rugby Park on Matchday 5. The Killie are stuck at the bottom, with the team collecting only one point in total from possible twelve, but Saturday’s game could be the turning point for the hosts. All Jeriel Dorsett, Jordan Jones, Zach Hemming, and Scott Robinson should miss out with injuries for the home team.
The Well, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth win of the process. Stevie Hammell’s troops are high on confidence ahead of round 5; therefore, we predict that they will hold Kilmarnock to a draw at Rugby Park. As for the visiting team, both Jake Carroll and Nathan McGinley are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away side ahead of Saturday’s clash.
