Motherwell

WWDLLD ⚖

Motherwell head into this game following on from a 0-0 Premiership stalemate vs Hearts.

In that match, Motherwell managed 45% possession and 5 attempts at goal with 0 on target. For their opponents, Hearts had 12 attempts at goal with 2 on target.

It’s been all too rare in recent times where Motherwell have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Motherwell have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 10 goals along the way. Putting that to one side, we will just have to wait and see if that trend might continue on in this upcoming match or not.

It has become apparent that St Johnstone have suffered from a shortage of goals over their previous six clashes, contributing the unsatisfactory return of only 2. In those fixtures, The Saints have also seen the overall goal tally of opposing teams equal 9.

💭 Prediction

In our opinion, St Johnstone have it in them to put a goal past this Motherwell team, but it realistically won’t be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re predicting a 2-1 winning score for Motherwell by the conclusion of the game. Should be a good one.
