Motherwell welcome St. Mirren to Fir Park on Saturday 31 October, kick-off 3.00pm (UK time), as two misfiring Scottish Premiership sides meet with points badly needed in the lower reaches of the table.
Anthony Eadson has run the rule over the form guide, the head-to-head record and the best available prices to pick out two Premium Tips, a predictions grid and a score forecast for this one.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson’s two Premium Tips for Motherwell vs St. Mirren, each priced up with one of our featured bookmakers.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Under 10.5 corners | 4/5 (Ladbrokes) | Two of the lowest-scoring, lowest-tempo sides in the Scottish Premiership meet here, and that points to a quiet corner count. Motherwell have managed just three goals in five games at Fir Park this season, while St. Mirren have scored only four times in five away matches, so sustained pressure from either side has been in short supply. The head-to-head backs it up too, with three of the last five league meetings between these clubs drawn and goals hard to come by. At 4/5, Under 10.5 corners looks a sensible way into a cagey contest. |
| The draw | 3/1 (bet365) | Three of the last five league meetings between these clubs have finished level, including a 3-3 at the SMiSA Stadium in August, and St. Mirren have failed to win any of them. Motherwell are winless in seven league games but drew 2-2 at St Johnstone last time out, while St. Mirren have won only one of their last five and were held 1-1 at home by Hibernian. Neither side arrives in the kind of form to force the issue, and bet365’s 3/1 on the draw is the value play. |

How Motherwell go into the game
The hosts sit 10th in the Scottish Premiership on nine points, and they arrive winless in their last seven league games. Motherwell have shipped 20 goals in 11 matches, and that leaky rearguard is the main reason they find themselves in the bottom half.
Last time out they drew 2-2 away at St Johnstone, a point that at least halted a run of defeats. Home form is a worry, though, with just one win from five at Fir Park and eight goals conceded on their own patch.
How St. Mirren go into the game
St. Mirren arrive in slightly better heart, sitting seventh on 14 points. The visitors have won one of their last five, however, and were held to a 1-1 home draw by Hibernian last time out.
Away form is the real concern. On the road the Saints have won two and lost three, scoring only four goals in those five trips, and that blunt travelling record makes this a hard afternoon for them to spark into life.
