Prediction: 0-1
Motherwell
St. Johnstone and Motherwell square off against each other at McDiarmid Park in what is expected to be a close Premiership encounter. The Saints suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the previous three league fixtures. St. Johnstone are not regarded as good hosts, which is yet another reason why we are not tempted to put our money on Callum Davidson’s troops. All Craig Bryson, Callum Booth, Chris Kane, Shaun Rooney, and David Wotherspoon are out of contention with injuries.
The Well, on the other hand, aim to make amends for the Scottish Cup defeat to Hibernian. Motherwell are eager to put an end to their four-match winless run, and we do not believe that they will have a better chance than this to get back on course. Midfielder Barry Maguire is sidelined with a muscle injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
