Prediction: 1-1
Motherwell
St Johnstone and Motherwell square off against each other at McDiarmid Park in what is expected to be an exciting Premiership game. The Saints aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Dundee United and a win over Motherwell could see them climb to the Championship Group berth. Gambia forward Adama Sidibeh serves a one-game ban following his sending off against the Terrors, while both Sam MaClelland and Uche Ikpeazu are out of contention with injuries.
The Well, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Hearts, but beating St Johnstone on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in Saturday’s encounter. Motherwell’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Shane Blaney, Apostolos Stamtelopoulos, Sam Nicholson, John Koutroumbis, Harry Paton, and Callum Slattery, while Filip Stuparevic is a major doubt.
