St Johnstone and Motherwell to Draw
This is a duel between two teams in the Relegation Group that don't really have to worry too much, especially the guests. With that in mind, our first St Johnstone vs Motherwell prediction is for the match to end in a draw.
After all, both of these teams would be pleased with one point from this game and we expect this match to go towards that outcome from the start, with neither of them pushing too hard for a win.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
Since we expect a draw here and we don't see either team pushing hard to get the three points, we can also see it being a low-scoring affair. So, our second St Johnstone vs Motherwell prediction is for the game to go under 2.5 total goals.
After all, three of the last five h2h meetings between St Johnstone and Motherwell have also gone under 2.5 total goals, so we can see that happening again on Saturday.

St Johnstone – Motherwell Preview: Form, News, and Predicted Lineups
Learn all the latest information about this game and the teams here, including the probable St Johnstone vs Motherwell lineups:
St Johnstone
After seven games without a win, St Johnstone finally ended that streak in the last round with a win over Dundee Utd and now they are five points ahead of them and six points ahead of Ross County, the last team in the standings. That pretty much puts them in a safe zone when it comes to relegation, unless a few unexpected things happen in combination with them losing a lot until the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Nicky Clark, Murray Davidson, and Chris Kane are on the sidelines with injuries at the moment.
St Johnstone Predicted Lineup:
Matthews – Brown, Gordon, Considine, Montgomery – Phillips, Wright, MacPherson, Hallberg, Carey – May
Motherwell
With three wins in the last five games, Motherwell has been in solid form recently and while they are in the Relegation Group, they really don't have much to worry about as they are currently nine points clear of Ross County, the last team in the standings. So, their fans can follow the end of the season pretty much free of any stress.
When it comes to team news, Ross Tierney, Jonathan Obika, Joseph Efford, and Nathan McGinley are out with injuries right now.
Motherwell Predicted Lineup:
Kelly – McGinn, Casey, Butcher – Johnston, Goss, Slattery, Furlong – Mandron, Van Veen
Starting Lineups
Teams usually announce their starting lineups about an hour before kickoff.
Player to Watch: Stevie May
This is a close duel and we can see a few different players making an impact, but if we have to choose one as our player to watch, it would be St Johnstone's forward Stevie May.
The experienced Scottish striker has been in good form this season, scoring seven goals and adding six assists, so Motherwell will have to keep a close eye on May in this match.
