Aberdeen vs Motherwell Prediction: Motivated Aberdeen to remain dominant

On Wednesday night, two Scottish Premiership teams positioned in the bottom half of the table will face each other as Aberdeen hosts Motherwell at Pittodrie. These two teams are closely matched in the top-flight standings, with only goal difference separating them. Motherwell, currently in eighth place, holds a slight advantage over Aberdeen, who sits in ninth position.

Aberdeen, coming off a victory in their previous game, aspire for a similar outcome following their 2-0 success against Bonnyrigg Rose in the Scottish Cup. Bojan Miovski (17', 25') was the sole scorer for Aberdeen in that match. In 5 of their last 6 meetings, Aberdeen has seen fewer than three goals per game. In terms of goal distribution during this period, opposing teams scored a total of 7 goals, while Aberdeen managed 6.

Looking ahead to this game, the recent form guide indicates that Aberdeen has not been defeated by Motherwell in their last 3 league matches. They have also maintained an unbeaten streak in their last 2 home league matches but are currently without a home win in the past 3 league matches.

Following their recent defeat to Greenock Morton in the Scottish Cup, Motherwell is determined to bounce back in this upcoming match. In that game, the goals for Motherwell were credited to Harry Paton (35' Own goal) and Jack Vale (85'), while George Oakley (55') scored for Greenock Morton.

Motherwell has demonstrated proficiency in breaking down opposition defenses, scoring 13 times in their last 6 matches leading up to this encounter. However, their defensive vulnerabilities are evident, having conceded in 5 of those outings. Examining their recent results, Motherwell is undefeated in their last 3 away league matches but has faced challenges in securing an away win, going without one in the past 9 league games.

Aberdeen Possible Starting Lineup:

Roos; Devlin, Gartenmann, Jensen, MacKenzie; Polvara, Clarkson, Shinnie, Hayes; Duk, Miovski

Motherwell Possible Starting Lineup:

Kelly; Mugabi, Casey, McGinn; O'Donnell, Zdravkovski, Halliday, Gent; Paton, Spittal; Bair

A captivating matchup awaits at Pittodrie, considering that at least three goals have been scored in five of the last six encounters between Aberdeen and Motherwell. Factoring in Motherwell's vulnerable defense and the attacking prowess of Aberdeen, especially with the presence of star striker Miovski, we anticipate that the Dons will secure a victory. Although Motherwell remains a formidable side, we expect both teams to find the back of the net, mirroring the trend observed in their previous six meetings.
