Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Saturday’s football game at Fir Park pits together Motherwell and Hibernian, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Premiership standings. The Well aim to build on a 3-2 win over Dundee FC, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Moses Ebiye should once again start from the bench despite scoring the winner at the weekend, while all Barry Maguire, Jonathan Obika, and Harry Paton are out of contention with injuries.
The Hibs, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Rangers and St. Johnstone. As the visitors will go for a victory in Saturday’s encounter as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. In their last encounter in the Scottish elite division the two sides played out a 2-2 draw.
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.
