Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
This prediction St. Mirren will look to bounce back from a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Dundee United when they host Motherwell at the SMiSA Stadium. The Saints have proven to be much more effective on home soil, where they tend to perform with greater confidence and attacking intent. However, they will be without suspended defender Marcus Fraser this time out, leaving a gap in their backline.
Motherwell head into the match on the back of a poor defensive performance, having suffered a heavy 4-1 loss to Dundee FC. That result marked their third consecutive defeat, with injuries adding to their woes. Key players including Callum Slattery, Sean Goss, and Stephen O’Donnell remain sidelined, severely hampering The Well's ability to compete in the midfield and at the back. Given Motherwell’s shaky defence and poor recent form, coupled with St. Mirren’s fine home record, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday's clash.
