Motherwell vs St Johnstone Predictions

• Motherwell have lost eight of their last 13 in the league
• The hosts have failed to score in five of their last six
• St Johnstone won their last away trip and finished last season with four wins in seven trips

Motherwell took off in the Europa League as they returned to Europe with a heavy win, but things haven’t clicked for them domestically so far. The hosts still bottom of the table after taking just two points from six matches, which makes St Johnstone look appealing to us in our predictions here.

The hosts beat Glentoran 5-1 in Europe, while they meet Coleraine next, but either side of that big win they lost two Premiership matches. Motherwell are now winless in seven in the league and head into this clash having lost eight of their last 13 Premiership matches, with their last clash at home seeing Hamilton walk away with a 1-0 victory.

Meanwhile, it’s been a solid start for St Johnstone who have claimed two wins in their last four matches. The Saints are solid enough to hold off a Motherwell side who haven’t scored in five of their six games this term, while we see the visitors making the breakthrough to walk away with the points after finishing last term with four away wins in seven and picking that back up with a victory at Kilmarnock last month. As a result, we’re backing St Johnstone to win and a 1-0 victory for the Saints.
