The Scottish Premiership returns to Fir Park as Motherwell<\/a> host Falkirk<\/a> on Sunday 9th August, kick-off 3pm, with both sides fresh off top-six finishes in 2025-26.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motherwell came fourth on 61 points last season and Falkirk sixth on 49, so this is a meeting of established top-six company rather than a mismatch. You will find more Scottish top-flight angles in our football tips<\/a>, but here is where we land on Motherwell vs Falkirk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Premium Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Motherwell start as 5\/6 favourites and, with Falkirk having lost the bulk of last season’s forward line over the summer, we are happy to side with the hosts and their main man in front of goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium Tip<\/th>Odds<\/th>Why we\u2019re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Lukas Fadinger to score anytime<\/strong><\/td>13\/2 (Sky Bet<\/a>)<\/td>Regular readers will be aware I successfully put up Lukas Fadinger to score last weekend at a massive 7\/1. The key angle that he is now on penalty duty for Motherwell. He already has three goals this season after two in the Conference League qualifiers. Slightly shorter at 13\/2, against Falkirk, I still make him a serious bet in the anytime scorer market. <\/td><\/tr>
Motherwell to win<\/strong><\/td>5\/6 (with Betfred<\/a>)<\/td>Falkirk beat Motherwell three times last season, so we are not getting carried away, but that Falkirk side has been picked apart up front. Five of their top six scorers from 2025-26 have moved on, leaving Ross MacIver and his three league goals as the senior man. Motherwell kept the meanest defence in the top six last term and have retained their key attackers, so at home, at 5\/6, the Steelmen are our pick to make the stronger squad tell.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
