St Johnstone

St Johnstone has had a rocky start to the season, currently sitting 7th on the table. Despite a strong 3-0 win against Kilmarnock earlier in August, they’ve struggled for consistency, losing three of their first four matches. Playing at home, St Johnstone will be keen to bounce back after their 2-0 defeat to Dundee United and look to capitalize on their historical edge over Motherwell at McDiarmid Park.

Motherwell

Motherwell enters this match on the back of a 3-1 victory over Hearts, which saw them rise to 6th place in the standings. With a solid defensive record and some momentum from recent wins, Motherwell will be aiming to continue their upward trajectory. However, their away form has been inconsistent, and facing a resilient St Johnstone side will be a test of their resolve.
