Aberdeen vs Motherwell: Our top betting predictions

Aberdeen vs Motherwell is a clash between two of the most out of form sides in Scotland let alone inside the Scottish Premiership. Will either be able to capitalise on their opponents obvious vulnerabilities to take a rare three points? Find out with our Aberdeen vs Motherwell match preview with free tips, predictions and odds mentioned along the way.

Aberdeen will not win

We kick off our predictions with a double chance bet and we are betting on Motherwell to avoid defeat as they travel to Aberdeen. Now we cannot escape the fact that Motherwell have been in horrid form collecting just one win from their last 10 games, however, they've also recorded four draws in that period meaning they've “only” lost 50% of their last 10 outings. Aberdeen meanwhile have also won one of their last 10 games but notably have only drawn two. That means they've got a 70% loss rate. With that considered, it's hard to see Aberdeen taking all three points. We can put the task at hand into greater focus by using the head to head record too; the last five meetings between these sides have seen Aberdeen win just once. The other four ended with one draw and three Motherwell wins.

Someone will fail to score

Not only have these two teams been in bad form but goals are not flowing for either side either. As such, our second tip for this match is that at least one side will fail to score in the game. Aberdeen have seen three of their last four matches end with a ‘nil' in the final scoreline whilst each of Motherwell's last three games have seen at least one side fail to score. Literally nothing about this game screams ‘classic'.

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the bookies odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game and how might that impact your view of our predictions? Let's find out.

Aberdeen odds: 21/20 (2.05) – 49%

Draw odds: 12/5 (3.40) – 29%

Motherwell odds: 13/5 (3.60) – 28%

Considering the form of both sides, it is hard to believe Aberdeen have been made such considerable favourites – albeit they're still not odds on. Regardless, there will be a lot of punters seeing value on this match as a result. Another interesting angle is the total goals market. The common benchmark here is the 2.5 goal line and the bookies have it down as 17/20 (1.85) for both over and under. That is another opportunity to exploit some value.

Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Aberdeen vs Motherwell

Aberdeen

Aberdeen might have lost their last game 3-1 but, actually, there was a marked improvement from the week before when they were mauled 6-0. With that considered alongside the fact that they've already been picking from a squad of players that is fully fit, mass changes are unlikely. Ross McCrorie will, however, miss out after being sent off last time.

Predicted lineup – Lewis, MacDonald, Pollock, Hayes, Coulson, Shinnie, Ramadani, Kennedy, Clarkson, Duk, Miovski

Motherwell

Motherwell might have bad form in common with their hosts but the fortune of no injuries isn't shared. Motherwell have a few players missing and that does limit their ability to make substantial changes to their side. Bevis Mugabi, Joe Efford and Nate McGinley are all still sidelined.

Predicted lineup – Kelly, McGinn, Blaney, Lamie, O'Donnell, Danzaki, Slattery, Goss, Aitchison, van Veen, Crankshaw

Starting Lineups

*Starting lineups are usually announced one hour prior to kick off.

Player to watch

Aberdeen's Bojan Miovski must be pulling his hair out with his teammates. The team's form as been nothing short of atrocious yet Miovski is still producing the goods. He sank his 12 league goal of the season last time out putting him third in the scoring charts!
