Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Fir Park will host Wednesday’s Premiership game between Motherwell and Aberdeen, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table despite only two points separating them in the standings. The Well do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league matches and, no doubt, they are desperate to get back on course. Midfielder Lennon Miller is banned for the match, while defender Pape Souare has yet to overcome an ankle problem.
The Dons, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Kilmarnock. Since Aberdeen will go for a win in the midweek clash as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. As for the away team, both James McGarry and Shayden Morris continue to miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Motherwell):
Motherwell are professional football club that compete in the Scotland Premiership. The Steelmen play home games at Fir Park, the stadium which can hold up to 13,677 spectators, wearing amber and claret shirts.
White, on the other hand, is the dominant colour of the club’s away kit. Founded in 1886, Motherwell won their first domestic trophy in the 1931/32 season, leaving Scottish giants Rangers and Celtic behind them in the standings. Speaking of the Scottish Cup, the Steelmen have two titles in the cup competition. In the 1951/52 season, Motherwell defeated Dundee 4-0 in the Scottish Cup final, with the team repeating the success 39 years later as they outplayed Dundee United 4-3 in the title game.
The likes of Hamilton Academical and Airdrieonians are regarded as the club’s bitterest rivals. The games between these clubs are known as the Lanarkshire derby. Hughie Ferguson is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart as he netted 284 goals for the Steelmen in league matches.
