📰 Team News: Motherwell

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just one fitness concern for the Motherwell manager Steven Hammell to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. David Devine (Hamstring Injury) misses out. Callum Slattery cannot play in this game through suspension.

We think that The Steelmen should kick off with a 4-3-3 formation with Liam Kelly, Paul McGinn, S. Solholm Johansen, Bevis Mugabi, Jake Carroll, Barry Maguire, Sean Goss, Blair Spittal, Josh Morris, Kevin Van Veen and Connor Shields.

📋 Team News: St Johnstone

Thanks to a fully injury-free group available to select from, the St Johnstone boss Callum Davidson does not have any fitness worries to speak of ahead of this game.

There’s a good chance that The Saints will likely play in a 3-4-2-1 lineup, starting Remi Matthews, Ryan McGowan, Alex Mitchell, Andrew Considine, Drey Wright, Melker Hallberg, Cameron MacPherson, Adam Montgomery, Graham Carey, Jamie Murphy and Theo Bair.

💭 Prediction

In this game, St Johnstone must be fancied to put a goal past this Motherwell lineup, although it is unlikely to be enough to prevent defeat.

We reckon that it will be a narrow 2-1 winning score for Motherwell at the end of the 90 minutes. Looking forward to this.
