Partick Thistle vs Motherwell Betting Tips

Partick Thistle looked to have finally found their feet towards the back end of 2015. They won their first game of the season at the beginning of October, which looked like it provided a huge confidence boost to the team.

They only lost one of their next nine matches, winning six times to see them move away from the bottom of the Scottish Premiership.

However, the New Year hasn’t been as kind to them. Partick Thistle have only won one of their last five matches in all competitions and have lost two of their four Premiership matches.

This leaves them in 10^th position in the Scottish Premiership, only a point above the relegation playoff position that Kilmarnock occupy.

Motherwell sit in the position above Partick Thistle, with their 26 point tally leaving them with a single point more than the home side coming into this crucial match.

Motherwell finished last season in the relegation playoff position, narrowly avoiding the drop thanks to a win over Hibernian in the playoff. They will certainly want to avoid that situation again.

The visitors also enjoyed a good run of form at the end of last year, winning four of six matches and remaining undefeated between the end of November and the start of January.

But they haven’t won any of their last three matches, with two losses including a 6-0 humiliation at the hands of the impressive Hearts.

These two sides have been pretty evenly matched in recent meetings. Both Partick Thistle and Motherwell have won two of their last five meetings with each other, with the remaining match ending a draw.

But at home Partick Thistle have won five of their last six home matches against Motherwell, so I think they have the advantage coming into this match. Odds of 1/1 for a home victory look really good value too, as do odds of 13/2 for a 1-0 correct score prediction.
