Prediction: 1-0
Motherwell
St Johnstone and Motherwell take on each other at McDiarmid Park in what is expected to be a close Premiership game. The Saints did well to beat Kilmarnock in their last league match, with the team putting an end to their dreadful winless run in the national championship. St Johnstone managed to register their first win of the process, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to avoid relegation. Even though forward Dara Costelloe misses out through suspension, we predict that the hosts are going to grab something from the postponed fixture.
The Well, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team collecting only one point from the last five league matches. Considering that the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are tempted to put our money on the rock-bottom side. Both Obika and Soure are sidelined with injuries, speaking of the away team.

Founded back in 1884, St. Johnstone are Scottish football club that welcome their rivals at McDiarmid Park. The venue, which was opened in August 1989, can hold up to 10,696 spectators.
