Predictions for Motherwell vs St Johnstone

For this game, we predict either a tight win for Motherwell or a draw, and here’s why. Despite their recent home struggles, Motherwell has displayed a solid form this season with five wins in ten matches, showing resilience in attack. St Johnstone, sitting lower in the table, has shown inconsistency with three wins from twelve games, which may impact their performance away from home.

Prediction: Motherwell to Win or Draw – 1.35

We expect this match to have fewer than three goals. Historically, games between these teams average around 2.8 goals per game. With both teams facing recent scoring struggles—Motherwell without a goal in three home games and St Johnstone failing to score in three of their seven away games—a lower-scoring affair is likely.

Prediction: Under 3 Goals – 1.72

Match Preview for Motherwell vs St Johnstone

Motherwell: Currently fifth on the table with sixteen points, Motherwell comes off a mixed run, winning two of their last five. They recently edged past Dundee United with a 2-1 win, showing their ability to find the net even after tough losses. However, with a three-game losing streak at Fir Park, they’ll aim to end this trend and leverage their balanced midfield to secure a vital home victory.

St Johnstone: Sitting tenth with ten points, St Johnstone’s recent performance has been inconsistent, losing two of their last three games, including a 1-3 loss to St. Mirren. Their defense has been shaky, but they’ve shown an offensive spark with two recent wins. St Johnstone’s best hope will be to capitalize on Motherwell’s defensive lapses and secure points on the road.
