Prediction: 1-1
Motherwell
St Johnstone will be aiming to put an end to their eight-game winless run when they take on Motherwell in the Premiership round 9. The Saints are desperate to record their first win of the season and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Motherwell. Both Alistair Crawford and Callum Booth are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Well, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the Scottish top flight. Stuart Kettlewell’s troops aim to overtake Hearts in 4th place in the standings. Since Motherwell will adopt an attack-minded approach as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Lennon Miller is banned for the match, while all Mika Biereth, Jonathan Obika, and Calum Butcher are out of contention with injuries.
