Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Fir Park will host Saturday’s Premiership game between Motherwell and Aberdeen, the two bottom-table sides. The Well aim to build on back-to-back wins over Livingston and Rangers and they are seen as slim favourites to beat the out-of-sorts Dons. Barring any fresh injury worries, Stuart Kettlewell is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Gers at Ibrox Stadium.
Aberdeen, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last four league matches. As the Dons had no more than two attempts on target in the midweek loss to Dundee, we are tempted to place our bets on Motherwell. Important defender Slobodan Rubezic remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury problems in the visiting team. In the first half of the season the two sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw and yet another high-scoring affair is on the cards.
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.
