Motherwell vs Edinburgh City Predictions

• Edinburgh City have lost their last five Scottish League Cup games.
• The visitors have scored in each of these matches, though.
• Motherwell are without  a clean sheet in 18 fixtures.

Steelmen to make a winning start to the season

Motherwell narrowly avoided relegation from the Scottish Premiership last season but they should get the 2024/25 campaign off to a winning start as they face League Two outfit Edinburgh City in the Scottish League Cup.

The hosts have won their last two friendlies, but their last clean sheet came 18 games ago and there is every chance the underdogs could find the net at Fir Park.

Goals expected at Fir Park

Edinburgh have lost their last five Scottish League Cup games and conceded 17 goals en route, but they have scored in all of these fixtures, and that includes ties with Ross County, St Mirren and Greenock Morton.

Meanwhile, Motherwell have won three of their last five in this competition, so backing a home win and both teams to score appeals.

Edinburgh City have lost two of their last five League Cup games by a 3-1 scoreline and Motherwell netted three times in their last home match in this tournament, so that’s a solid correct score pick.
