Calling it all square
St Mirren have had the most draws in the Premiership this season; they’ve drawn 10 of their 22 league games so far. Jim Goodwin’s men have drawn more home games (6) than they’ve won (2) and lost (3) combined. Similarly, Motherwell have had their fair share of draws; they drew their last two games at the end of regulation time. It’s also worth pointing out that recent meetings between these sides have seen a lot of draws; as three of their last four clashes ended in draws. With this in mind, there’s a good chance this ends in a draw.
Both sides will not score
St Mirren have improved a bit defensively, especially in recent games; they’ve kept three clean sheets in their last five games. Conversely, St Mirren have not scored a lot of goals; they’ve failed to score in two of those five games. St Mirren’s games have mostly been one-sided in terms of goals; at least one side has blanked in five of their last six games. On the other hand, Motherwell have not scored a single goal at the end of regulation time in their last three games; at least one side failed to score in five of their last seven games after 90 minutes. For these reasons, we believe at least one of these teams will keep a clean sheet.
We’re calling it a low scorer
Meetings between these two have mostly been on the low-scoring side; four of their last five encounters went under 2.5. In the same vein, most of both teams’ respective recent games have been low-scoring; five of St Mirren’s last six games, and six of Motherwell’s last eight games went below the 2.5 goal mark. On that note, our final prediction for this game is under 2.5 total goals.
