St Johnstone vs Motherwell Predictions

• Johnstone have won the last two meetings between the sides including a 0-3 victory at Fir Park in February.
• Saints have lost just one of their last ten competitive games in all competitions, winning five.

Super Saints hard to oppose

St. Johnstone’s tremendous 2020/21 campaign included crucial league and cup victories over Motherwell and Callum Davidson’s side can win through again this Sunday when the sides square off at McDiarmid Park.

Saints crushed Motherwell 0-3 in the SPL at Fir Park when the sides last met in April, and they also bested Graham Alexander’s charges 1-2 en route to League Cup glory.

Saints achieved a remarkable cup double last term in what was easily the greatest season in their history, and their Hampden Park triumphs were supplemented by a solid fifth place finish in the SPL.

The Perth outfit gained their first taste of UEFA Europa League action in midweek as they secured a superb 1-1 draw against Galatasaray in Turkey and they’ve now lost just one of their last ten competitive matches in all competitions, winning five.

This Sunday’s hosts are riding an incredible wave and while they could only manage a 0-0 stalemate at Ross County on the opening day of the SPL season, we fancy them to again dispatch a Motherwell side who surrendered a 2-1 lead at home to Hibernian on Matchday 1, going onto lose the fixture 2-3.

Saints’ recent success has been built upon a sturdy defence which has conceded just one goal in their last four competitive starts, so we’re also forecasting a 1-0 correct score for the action at McDiarmid Park this Sunday.
