Montrose vs Motherwell Predictions

• In four of Motherwell’s last five competitive wins they have also been leading at half-time
• Motherwell have won four of their last six League Cup ties
• Both teams have scored in four of Montrose’s last six League Cup games

Visitors should enjoy comfortable success

Motherwell got their season off to a strong start with a 3-0 win over Edinburgh City and they can follow up with another when they take on Montrose on the road.

The Well faded after a decent start to the season last term and will not want to repeat that again this year.

They have a decent record in this competition, they have not departed at the group stage at any point since it was brought in for the 2016–17 season and reached the final in 2018, where they were beaten by Celtic.

They face a Montrose side that missed out on promotion to the Scottish Championship in the play-off last season.

The hosts started their campaign with a 3-2 defeat to Partick Thistle in their first League Cup game and look vulnerable once again.

Four of Motherwell’s last five competitive victories have also seen them winning at half-time and that could be a way to extract some more value from this game.

Both teams could net

Despite Motherwell’s class advantage, don’t discount Montrose getting on the scoresheet. They netted twice against the Jags and BTTS has landed in four of their last six League Cup games.

Side with both teams to find the net in a Motherwell win for correct score purposes, with a 3-1 away win the pick.
