Prediction: 2-1
St Johnstone
Motherwell will be eager to get back on track when they welcome St Johnstone to Fir Park following a tough League Cup loss to Rangers. Currently aiming to regain momentum, the hosts will likely make changes to the starting XI, especially with Marvin Kaleta a major doubt after he limped off with an injury in the previous match. Shane Blaney is expected to step in if Kaleta is unavailable, providing some stability at the back. Despite recent setbacks, Motherwell’s home form has shown promise, and they are surely capable of matching the Saints at home.
St Johnstone head into the game in poor form, having suffered back-to-back defeats against St. Mirren and Hearts. Defensive issues continue to be a problem for the Saints, and their squad depth is further compromised by injuries to the likes of Cameron MacPherson, Andre Raymond, Sam McClelland, and Uche Ikpeazu. With a shaky defence and limited options, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from Saturday's showdown.
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.

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.
