Wednesday evening, at 19:45, our editorial team heads for Scotland’s first league, where we will play on a match without many goals, between St. Mirren and Motherwell. The hosts are ranked last (16-50 golaver), with the weakest Scotland attack, but also the most permissive defense. Motherwell, on the other hand, is in an encouraging form.
Mothwerwell is ranked 9th (goal 25-33) and has twice as many points as St. Mirren, who seems condemned to relegation. With 5 defeating wins in the championship, the host band had the misfortune to meet Scottish gangs in a very short period of time. It was 0-4 on the Glasgow Rangers field on the recently ended weekend, and 0-4 on Celtic’s field last week. Between these impossible games he slipped and a failure without a right to appeal to Hibernian, on his own, score 1-3. On the whole, only the Alloa Cup win (3-2) has added more to St. Mirren, who needs a miracle to get out of the basement. Without great attack possibilities, but with a slow and predictable defense, Mirren meets a team on the wave!
The guests come after three goalless wins in the championship, 3-0 with Livingston, 1-0 with Dundee and 1-0 with Hibernian, with 4 successes in the last 5 stages of the championship. Former opponent of Star in European Cups has no emotion as to relegation and will approach the game quite relaxed with high-morale. Last month against Livingston, Motherwell was forced to score goals scored in the first 20 minutes by Hastie (“double”) and Main, after which the hosts were happy to defend the score and did not waste much physical resources. On Wednesday, guests will come to St. Louis. Mirren without Cadden, Carson, Donnelly, Mbulu and Tanner, but hosts have batch problems with Cooke, Hodson, Kellerman, MacKenzie, Magennis and Rogers.
We notice a statistically interesting detail in the duels between the two bands. At the previous meeting in the championship was imposed St. Mirren, away, score 1-0, in a big surprise this season in Scotland. Motherwell also won on St. Petersburg. Mirren 2-0 in the first straight match of this championship. In 5 of the last 6 duels between St. Mirren and Motherwell have scored just one team, and bets on goals have a small chance here, considering that only two games in the last 7 have had generous scores.
PREDICTION: Under 2,5 goals @ 1.62
