Motherwell vs St Johnstone Prediction: Visitors have no chance

Fir Park will be the venue for this Scottish Premiership encounter between Motherwell and St Johnstone. Both teams could not win their last league game; in this one, they will hope for a better result. How will this one end?

Motherwell lost to Hibernian in their last league game, a road encounter that ended 3-0. However, prior encounters to that defeat saw Motherwell pick up consecutive wins against Livingston and Ross County in games that ended 4-1 and 1-5, respectively. However, this side has accumulated 43 points from 37 matches, positioning them 9th in the standings.

St Johnstone avoided a defeat for the first time since mid-April. In their last match, this team played Ross County, and they played to a 1-1 draw, with Adama Sidibeh’s 90th-minute strike being the difference. However, prior encounters to that draw saw St Johnstone lose to Kilmarnock, Hibernian, Aberdeen, and Livingston. This season, St Johnstone have accumulated just 32 points from 37 games, positioning them 11th in the league standings. 

Motherwell are inconsistent in performance, but St Johnstone are just too poor. While the hosts will have the advantage of playing at home, I expect this game to end in favor of Motherwell. Also, the prior games between these sides have not ended in many goals, and we could witness nothing more than two goals here.
