โน๏ธ Team News: Dundee
There arenโt many personnel worries, with just a single fitness concern for the Dundee boss Tony Docherty to be concerned with from an otherwise complete group. Owen Beck (Groin problems) is sidelined.
โน๏ธ Team News: Motherwell
Thanks to a largely healthy group, thereโs only the one fitness worry for the Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell to contend with. Callum Slattery (Knee injury) wonโt be playing here.
๐ฎ Prediction
Our thinking is that Motherwell are likely to put a goal past this Dundee team, however it isnโt expected to be enough to prevent defeat.
We reckon that it will be a narrow 2-1 advantage for Dundee at the end of the 90 minutes. Expecting it to be very competitive.
