Motherwell vs St. Mirren tips and predictions

St. Mirren to get it done

It's eigth placed Motherwell versus fifth placed St. Mirren in this Premiership clash as the visitors look to add digits to the 10-point gap between the sides.

This looks like being a match where all results are possible but don't be surprised to see St. Mirren come through.

If the hosts are to emerge with the win they will want to move on from some of their recent displays. The Well can't be trusted in terms of value betting. They've lost 7 of their last 14 games as hosts. Their defensive stats at home could be significant in this game. They conceded at least once in 15 of their last 16 home matches so they are going to have to tidy things up before this one.

St. Mirren are frequently showing what they are capable of. Impressively, they've scored three or more goals in 2 of their last 5 away fixtures. If there is any complacency in the hosts' ranks, the visitors will have grounds for optimism here. In a match that has split opinions, there is plenty of evidence for supporting the away win.

Away from the 1X2 there's a underwhelming backup bet in the Both Teams To Score market with the No option.

The head-to-head shows that The Well have not won any of the last 3 matches between these two sides.

The hosts come off a 1-0 defeat earlier this month against Aberdeen.
