Dundee United - Motherwell predictions

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.75 is a solid option. That said, Motherwell may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Dundee United and the fact that Motherwell are given 5.04 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

Dundee United’s previous Premiership match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Celtic . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 15.00. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 3:0 result before the end.

The away team are coming on the back of a harsh 0:3 defeat to Ross County. Despite a home-field advantage and relatively comparable betting odds, Motherwell were far behind their opponents throughout the bout, largely disappointing their home supporters.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Dundee United have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Motherwell once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

This Saturday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.85, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
