Bitesize Prediction: St. Mirren vs Motherwell – 16/12/23

Competition: Scottish Premiership

Market: St. Mirren win

Odds: 1/1 @ Pribet

Looking to secure back-to-back Premiership victories this weekend, St, Mirren will welcome Motherwell to Paisley on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, managing to claim a welcomed top-flight boost last weekend, St. Mirren will now be hoping to find some Premiership stability. Eventually picking up a routine 2-0 victory against Ross County, Stephen Robinson’s side should be smelling the opportunity to make another statement here. Gaining a string of plaudits since opening up the 2023/24 campaign and remarkably sat third in the standings, the Buddies have continued to shine thanks to their performances on home soil. Signing off October with a stellar 4-0 romp against St. Johnstone, it should be noted that the Paisley-based outfit have collected 10 points from their previous four Premiership showdowns in front of their own supporters. With some in Robinson’s camp even dreaming of the chance to mount a famous European charge this season, St. Mirren will also be excited by an eye-catching record against Saturday’s guests. Including a 1-0 victory when they last met Motherwell back on September 16th, the Buddies have won three of their previous four showdowns.

As for the visitors, while Motherwell might have eventually snatched a last-gasp 1-1 stalemate against St. Johnstone last week, that result doesn’t cover what has been a nightmare Premiership campaign. Battling it out at the foot of the table and coming under plenty of scrutiny this season, Stuart Kettlewell’s men are already sat eight points adrift of finding a route into the top-six. In fact, the Steelmen are without a single win from any of their previous 13 straight appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to September 3rd. With their recent glaring struggles highlighted by a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Ross County earlier in the month, Motherwell should face a stern challenge on Saturday afternoon. Hit with that 1-0 loss when they welcomed St. Mirren to Fir Park back on September 16th and collecting just a sole victory in Paisley since December 2019, we are expecting a home win here.
