Bitesize Prediction: Motherwell vs Dundee FC – 19/10/24 – Soccer News

Competition: Scottish Premiership

Market: Motherwell win

Odds: 12/11 @ Pribet

Looking to extend on their recent purple patch when they return from October’s international break, Motherwell will welcome Dundee to Fir Park on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while Motherwell might have spent last season as they heart of an infamous Premiership relegation scrap, the Steelmen have come roaring back this time around. Last seen heading into October’s international break with an eye-catching 2-1 win away at Hibernian, Stuart Kettlewell’s men should find the mood in their camp at a real high. Extending on their League Cup adventure last month as they secured a 2-1 win against Dundee United, the Lanarkshire-based outfit will be smelling the chance to lay down another marker here. Signing off September with yet another 2-1 victory against St. Mirren, some around Fir Park could even be dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine European charge this season. Marking their return from October’s fortnight interval scrapping it out in the top-four, Motherwell have also won six of their previous seven appearances across all competitions.

As for the visitors, will Motherwell might be firing on all cylinders this season, Dundee are in the midst of what has become a public Premiership crisis. Heading into October’s international break with an action-packed 3-2 loss at home against Kilmarnock, Tony Docherty’s men are pencilled in as a leading relegation contender this season and are seeking a crucial boost. Crashing out of the League Cup last month following a routine 3-0 drumming at the hands of Rangers, Saturday’s guests have now lost each of their previous four appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 10-3. Marking their return from the fortnight interval scrapping it out in the bottom-half of the table, Dundee should be bracing themselves for a real challenge this weekend. In fact, Docherty’s side have registered just a single win from any of their first eight showdowns against Premiership opposition.
