Clyde vs Motherwell prediction: Premiership class to shine through
Key stats
- Motherwell's last two victories have come without conceding a goal.
- Clyde have failed to score in two of their last three defeats.
- Three goals or more have been scored in five of Motherwell's last seven matches.
Correct score prediction: Clyde 0-3 Motherwell
Clyde should be out of their depth on Saturday afternoon, and sometimes, when the gulf in quality is as big as three divisions, there is very little that the minnows can do. Motherwell may treat this like a pre-season fixture and heavily rotate their players, but even their fringe players should have far too much quality for the hosts.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Clyde are huge underdogs
- HOME: 13/2 (7.50) – 13.3%
- DRAW: 17/4 (5.25) – 19%
- AWAY: 2/7 (1.29) – 77.8%

Most recent H2Hs: A second League Cup meeting in as many years
This is the second year in a row that Clyde and Motherwell have been drawn into the same group in the Scottish League Cup. Last season, almost a year to the day of this year's fixture, Motherwell ran out as 3-1 winners at the SuperSeal Stadium, but it could and should have been a lot more.

Motherwell preview: A finale outing for Miller?
Whenever a teenager starts to shine in Scottish football and they don't already play for one of the Old Firm clubs, then it is only a matter of time before they come knocking. Motherwell will look to cling onto 18-year-old, Lennon Miller, this summer, but there is every chance he leaves with Celtic heavily interested, meaning this match could be his final outing in Motherwell colours.
Predicted lineup: Ward (GK), Koutroumbis, Gordon, McGinn, Wilson, Fadinger, Watt, Slattery, Miller, Maswanhise, Stamatelopoulos

Player to watch: Apostolos Stamatelopoulos
Apostolos Stamatelopoulos came to Motherwell last summer with quite a reputation after scoring 17 goals in the A-League for Newcastle Jets. That didn't quite translate as well as hoped in his debut campaign in Scotland, as he managed just five league goals for Motherwell. Now that he has fully settled, will he explode into life this season?
