Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
St Mirren
Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 2-1
Motherwell
Tuesday’s football game at the SMISA Stadium pits together St. Mirren and Motherwell, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the standings. The Saints aim to build on back-to-back wins over Dundee United and Aberdeen, and they must be high on spirits ahead of the visit of Motherwell. Defender Conor McCarthy is sidelined with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Well, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-match winless run. Jim McMahon’s troops failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Hearts, and given St. Mirren’s since of improvement, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Defender Barry Maguire, who limped off with injury in the last league fixture, is unlikely to feature against the Saints.
Highlighted Player (Marcus Fraser):
Marcus Fraser is a Scottish footballer who plays for Ross County as a defender. Fraser is a product of Celtic football school, but he made no more than one appearance for the Hoops in the Scottish Premier League. He played his only game for the Scottish giants in a 3-1 win at Inverness on February 9, 2013.
After ending his loan spell with Cowdenbeath, Marcus Fraser signed a deal with Ross County in 2015. Over the years, the defender has established himself as a first-team regular with the Staggies, making 26 appearances in the Scottish top flight last term.
Speaking of his international career, Fraser has five caps for the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team. His main position on the field is a right-back, but he is capable of producing good performances as a centre-back as well. Marcus Fraser was born in Bishopbriggs, Scotland, on June 23, 1994.
Highlighted Team (Motherwell):
Motherwell are professional football club that compete in the Scotland Premiership. The Steelmen play home games at Fir Park, the stadium which can hold up to 13,677 spectators, wearing amber and claret shirts.
White, on the other hand, is the dominant colour of the club’s away kit. Founded in 1886, Motherwell won their first domestic trophy in the 1931/32 season, leaving Scottish giants Rangers and Celtic behind them in the standings. Speaking of the Scottish Cup, the Steelmen have two titles in the cup competition. In the 1951/52 season, Motherwell defeated Dundee 4-0 in the Scottish Cup final, with the team repeating the success 39 years later as they outplayed Dundee United 4-3 in the title game.
The likes of Hamilton Academical and Airdrieonians are regarded as the club’s bitterest rivals. The games between these clubs are known as the Lanarkshire derby. Hughie Ferguson is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart as he netted 284 goals for the Steelmen in league matches.
