Motherwell vs Rangers Prediction: Rangers hoping to turn defeat into victory

Fir Park will host the week 20 Scottish Premiership encounter between Motherwell and Rangers. Off to this game, the two teams suffered a disappointing defeat. How will they approach this game? Below, I will preview this game and make predictions. 

Motherwell

Motherwell were thrashed the previous time out and will hope things will go right for them. In that game, Motherwell conceded from the spot in the last minute of the first half, but a poor second-half play saw them concede three times. 

However, Motherwell went unbeaten in three games prior to that defeat, drawing Kilmarnock while pulling off wins over Dundee United and St. Mirren. Meanwhile, those results were this team’s best outcomes, as they lost to Ross County, Hibernian, and Dundee FC. 

In their last home matches, Motherwell had two wins, two defeats, and one draw. In their last home matches, Motherwell scored eight goals while conceding ten goals in the same run. 

This season, Motherwell have 26 points from 18 matches. In that run, Motherwell scored 23 goals and conceded 31 while sitting 6th spot.

Rangers

Rangers were on the road against St. Mirren on Boxing Day, and they suffered a defeat. In that game, the Rangers had very good control of possession, 75, and attempted 21 shots, while five were on target. However, this team went behind before the break, with Oisin Smyth putting his side in front from the spot. Danilo levelled the score for the Rangers in the 61st minute, but Caolan Boyd-Muce's strike was enough to see this side end on the losing end. 

However, looking at Rangers’ last matches, this team won twice, coming against Ross County and Dundee FC. In other encounters, Rangers lost to Celtic in the League Cup while drawing Tottenham. 

With 35 points from 17 matches, Rangers are seated second in the standings. In those matches, Rangers scored 29 goals while conceding 11. 

Expert Betting Tips

Rangers have to do better in this fixture after a disappointing performance in their last game. However, Motherwell looked completely like a different side against Celtic and will surely hope things will go their way here. In the meantime, Rangers have had so much luck in this fixture in the last, and a similar outcome could surface here. Yet, Motherwell looked very competitive in the past fixtures of this game, and I expect them to be at their best here. This is a game of luck, as the two teams have had trouble against tough opponents. Bet on the Rangers to win this game, while a bet on both teams' scoring should be the first option.
