Motherwell vs Dundee FC Prediction: Motherwell to extend their winning run with a victory at home

Fir Park will host the Scottish Premiership encounter between Motherwell and Dundee FC. Heading into this game, the two teams are coming off contrasting results, with the home team on a winning run. Can Dundee FC end their poor run?

Motherwell played Hibernian the previous time out and pulled off a 1-2 win. In that game, we witnessed a draw at halftime, but Apostolos Stamatelopoulos put Motherwell in the lead 11 minutes into the second half. However, Junior Hoilett leveled the score for Hibernian, but an 80th-minute Andy Halliday strike was enough to seal maximum points for Motherwell at full-time. In the meantime, Motherwell have accumulated maximum points in their last three matches, defeating St. Mirren and Dundee United in other games. With 13 points from 7 matches this season, Motherwell sit 4th in the league standings, scoring 11 goals and conceding 8.

Dundee FC played Kilmarnock the previous time out and lost 2-3 at home. In that game, this team took the lead in the 24th minute through Ziyad Larkeche’s strike but received a red card before the break. However, Oluwaseun Adewumi extended this team’s lead in the 81st minute before Kimarock pulled off a comeback win in the game's last minutes. Heading into this fixture, Dundee FC have lost their previous four matches, the first three against Ross County, Rangers, and Aberdeen. This season, Dundee FC have six points from a possible 21, leaving them 8th in the standings. 

Dundee FC did not compete in their last matches, which should continue. While Motherwell are in a hot form and at their best, being at home should also boost their confidence. While I expect this team to draw momentum in this game despite their unreliable results in this fixture, we should expect goals from both sides, as their defenses are struggling.
