Motherwell - St. Johnstone predictions

The home team are slightly stronger as far as most online bookies are concerned, but the difference is by no means insurmountable. Both a stalemate and a victory for St. Johnstone are still on the table.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Motherwell on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Motherwell’s previous Premiership fixture could have gone either way and it’s fair to assume they were happy to have gotten a point from a difficult game. A tied first half and a Hearts draw, in the end, is the result everybody will have been happy with.

The away team are coming off of a narrow away defeat at Dundee United, which hardly came as a surprise. Considering they played as the away team and were up against overwhelming odds, most Premiership betting predictions expected a larger goal difference.

Motherwell’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Premiership matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

St. Johnstone have an excellent defensive track record at the moment with no concessions in their previous 3 home games. Although they’re playing without home-field advantage this Saturday, we would keep their rock-solid defence in mind for betting purposes.

According to the recent head-to-head records, Motherwell already has a win over the away team recorded earlier in the season. It was a narrow victory, but a victory nonetheless, justifying the 2.37 odds on a home win.

Saturday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 1.66 odds.
