Bitesize Prediction: Motherwell vs Dundee United – 15/04/23

Competition: Scottish Premiership

Market: Motherwell win

Odds: 19/20 @ 888sport

Looking to make it three Premiership victories on the bounce this weekend, Motherwell will welcome Dundee United to Fir Park on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while Motherwell might have once again shown some extended issues this season, the Steelmen are enjoying what has been a stellar end to their campaign. Really hitting the ground running since returning from the international break, the mood in Stuart Kettlewell’s side should be at a recent high. Last seen putting in another dominant display on home soil as they cruised their way to a 3-0 romp against Livingston, the Lanarkshire-based outfit will be smelling the chance to make another Premiership statement on Saturday afternoon. Likewise, marking their return from the fortnight interval with a 3-1 romp away at Hibernian on April 1st, Motherwell have lost just one of their last seven straight appearances. With that eye-catching run stemming all the way back to February 11th, the former Ross County boss should also be excited by his side’s continued success on home soil. It should be noted, Kettlewell’s men have collected nine points from their last four contests at Fir Park.

As for the visitors, managing to make what was a crucial return to winning ways last weekend, Dundee are simply hoping to avoid lifting the wooden spoon this month. However, while Jim Goodwin’s side might have snatched a 2-1 victory at home against Hibernian last time out, the Terrors are tipped as a leading relegation contender in 2023. Still sat rock-bottom of the Premiership table and showing a host of issues on either side of the World Cup’s winter break, the former Aberdeen boss has remarkably seen his side muster just a single top-flight win since way back on January 2nd. Knowing that they should face a tricky test when they travel to Lanarkshire on Saturday afternoon, Dundee should also be worried by their most recent meeting against the Steelmen. Hit with a late 1-0 loss when they welcomed Motherwell to Tannadice Park for their reverse meeting on October 29th, we are expecting a similar outcome this weekend.
