Analysis:
We are now at Round 30 of 38. Apart from Celtic and Rangers, there are 7 teams that can compete for a ticket to the European competitions for the next season. The visitors of this one actually play their last card. If they can emerge victorious, they will have the same points as their opponents and will have jumped at 6th. However, they will have to do it with a score of 2-0 or any other where there will be 2 goals in difference.
On the other hand, if the hosts win, then they will come within 1 point from Dundee United and the 5th place, 2 points from Aberdeen and the 4th, and 3 points from Hibernian and the 3rd. In other words, both clubs have enough of an incentive to fight for the win with everything they have.
Special features:
Both sides have almost identical records as can be seen on the statistics. The 2 goals difference that we mention above will give St Mirren the advantage if the two teams finish the season with the same number of points, since they have lost the first leg by 1-0.
While, if one takes a look at the last five encounters between the two, the record says 2 wins for Motherwell and 2 draws, the single victory of St. Mirren has been achieved at an away game with 1-0. In general, the matches between the two sides, regardless of the venue, do not end with an easy victory for either. One goal of difference and that’s it.
Suggestion:
The odds say even money. @2.78 for the hosts, @2.77 for the visitors. A bet for over 2.5 goals gets @1.96. Those are the markets with payouts that make sense. It would appear that the determination of the prices says that St Mirren enjoy a very slight advantage. Nevertheless, we believe that the home team is at a better condition at this time. Therefore, we will suggest the win for Motherwell to those who will open an account made for winners.
