St Mirren Double Chance
Motherwell supporters have had little to shout about this season and they have seen their team win only once in their last 15 assignments in the Premiership. St. Mirren meanwhile, are five places and 13 points better off than their hosts ahead of the teams’ meeting on Wednesday and The Buddies have taken maximum points in two of their last three top flight fixtures. The odds are generous here and our first prediction recommends a stake on St. Mirren in the double chance market against a struggling Motherwell outfit.
Under 2.5 Goals
Both Motherwell and St. Mirren are averaging just over 1.0 goal per game in the Premiership this term, and with reliable goal-getters in short supply in both camps, a game with little goalmouth action is anticipated at Fir Park. The sides have already met twice this season and on each occasion, just a single goal rattled the net. Excitement levels should be similarly low when they re-engage in midweek and another stake on under 2.5 goals seems to fit the bill in this one.

Motherwell vs St Mirren Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Wednesday’s Premiership clash between Motherwell and St Mirren below.
Motherwell
Motherwell could be without defenders Bevis Mugabi and Nathan McGinley this week, though attacker Joseph Efford should be back in contention following a thigh issue. The Well were dumped out of the Scottish FA Cup by Raith Rovers at the weekend in a 3-1 reverse at Stark's Park.
Predicted Lineup for Motherwell: Kelly – O'Donnell, Butcher, Casey, McGinn – Spitall, Slattery, Tierney – Danzaki, van Veen, Obika
St Mirren
Midfielder Jonah Ayunga is out for the rest of the season for St. Mirren, while defender Richard Tait will miss the next couple of weeks with a groin strain. The Buddies were thumped 5-1 by Celtic in the FA Cup at the weekend, though they would have expected to lose to the champions in Glasgow.
Predicted Lineup for St Mirren: Carson – Strain, Fraser, Gogic, Dunne, Tanser – Kiltie, Baccus, O'Hara – Main, Greive
Player to Watch – Ryan Strain
Wing-back Ryan Strain has been a menacing presence for St. Mirren in recent weeks and the 25-year-old has chipped in with two assists in his last three appearances for The Buddies. The thrust that Strain provides from his berth on the right should be a crucial part of St. Mirren’s gameplan again when they visit Motherwell on Wednesday.
