Motherwell vs Aberdeen Predictions

Motherwell to pile more misery on Aberdeen

Motherwell should be backed to get a victory over Aberdeen at Fir Park on Sunday. The visitors have lost on each of their last five Premiership away games and that run looks set to continue here.

They are three places above Aberdeen in the table, but there is a 16-point gap between the two sides. Motherwell, fourth, have won 11 of their 25 games this season, while seventh-placed Aberdeen have eight wins.

Aberdeen could not break their losing habit last time, going down 3-0 to Kilmarnock two weeks ago in their last Premiership outing. This was a disappointing result for Aberdeen, who had been priced at 7/5 to win. They have now lost 11 of the 13 games this season in which they’ve shipped the first goal (85%).

Goals have proved easy to come by for Motherwell lately, with the hosts scoring at least twice in four of their last six Premiership games. They have found the net in six consecutive matches, including a 4-0 win over Kilmarnock last month.

Motherwell are hitting their stride, having won four of their last six Premiership matches and going nine home games without defeat. They have only lost one of their last ten league matches, a 1-0 loss to Rangers in December.

They are keeping things tight defensively this term. No other team has conceded fewer Premiership goals this season than Motherwell’s 18 in 25 games, and they have kept nine clean sheets in their last 11 home games.

Backing Aberdeen’s opponents during their current run of six defeats in eight Premiership games would have resulted in a profit of 3.73 units.

Aberdeen need to turn things around. They have lost six of their last eight Premiership matches, with just one win in that run, and have failed to win any of their last five away games.

The visitors are struggling to score, with Aberdeen failing to find the net in five of their last six Premiership matches, including four successive away games.

Aberdeen have been finding it hard to keep out their opponents lately, failing to keep a clean sheet in 13 of their last 16 Premiership games. They are on a run of six away days without recording a shutout.

Motherwell may be able to edge out Aberdeen in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Motherwell have been strong at home this season, while Aberdeen have won just four of their 12 away games.
