These are our Motherwell vs East Fife predictions and tips:
Contents
Half-time Motherwell
It can be said that East Fife won all three of their group games so far. However, two of those victories came on penalties. The reality is, East Fife won just one of their last five matches at the end of regulation time. In contrast, Motherwell are coming into this match on the back of six consecutive victories; they opened the scoring in nine of their last 10 games, and had the lead at half-time in four of their last five matches. Taking both teams’ recent form into account, we believe that Motherwell will draw first blood, and have the lead at the half-time break.
One Team to Blank
It’s important to point out that East Fife have impressed and disappointed with equal measure when it comes to goals. On one hand, they’ve been solid defensively, conceding just once in three matches so far. Conversely, East Fife have struggled to find the net, as they failed to score in four of their last five games. It’s also worth mentioning that Motherwell kept four clean sheets in their last five matches; and for this reason, we shouldn’t expect goals at both ends.
Less Than Three Goals
Our last Motherwell vs East Fife prediction is on the over/under goals market. We’ve established that East Fife conceded just once in three group matches so far. Interestingly, two of their three games in this tournament ended goalless. Given that Motherwell did not concede in four of their last five matches, this will likely be a low-scoring affair.
Motherwell vs East Fife Match Preview, Analysis, and Latest Team News
Motherwell
Motherwell have been unstoppable recently; they are currently on a six-match winning streak, with no losses in their last 11 games across all competitions. Stuart Kettlewell’s men will be eyeing their seventh consecutive win, and they’ll fancy their chances against East Fife.
East Fife
On the other hand, East Fife defeated 10 man Queen of South on penalties last weekend, maintaining their 100 percent record in this competition. This will be a tricky fixture for the visitors, as they face an in-form Motherwell side on the road. It’ll be interesting to see if East Fife can get any points from this trip.
Motherwell vs East Fife Lineups
Stuart Kettlewell will be glad to have Ricki Lamie back in the fold. The 30 year old was sent off in their victory over Queen of South, and is back after a one-game suspension. On the other hand, there are no new absentees for East Fife.
