Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Motherwell will look to recover from a shocking League Cup loss to Partick Thistle when they take on Ross County in the opening match of their 2024/2025 Premiership campaign. The Well were producing fine performances in preseason and they are surely capable of matching Ross County at their Fir Park. Summer signing Filip Stuparevic is widely expected to make his Premier League debut against the Staggies.
Don Cowie’s troops, on the other hand, head into Saturday’s clash following a 3-0 win over Stirling. Even though Ross County are on an eight-game winning run in all competitions, we are tempted to bet on draw as Motherwell are tough to beat at home. The likes of Ricki Lamie, Charlie Telfer, Ronan Hale, and Akil Wright have joined Ross County in the summer transfer window. Attacking midfielder Yan Dhanda is no longer part of the team after joining Hearts on a free transfer.
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.
