Motherwell vs Kilmarnock Prediction 20.12.2024 | Scottish Premiership

• Competition: Scotland Premiership
• Date: 20.12.2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Fir Park (Motherwell)

Motherwell ended their streak of poor results with two wins in the last two rounds against Dundee United and St Mirren. This brought them back to a positive record and secured 4th place on the table. Although they are far from the top teams in the league, it’s a solid achievement for a team that was seen as one of the potential lower-placed sides before the season started.

Kilmarnock defeated Hearts in the previous round on home turf, showcasing some resilience. Interestingly, this is a team with the second-worst goal difference in the league. They often win by narrow margins but lose by large ones. They haven’t won in their last four away matches, so this will be an opportunity for redemption.

Motherwell vs Kilmarnock Pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Both teams have an average of around 3 goals per game during the season, but looking at their head-to-head results, it’s clear that the number of goals has often been 2 or fewer. In 8 of their last 10 matches, there were under 2.5 goals scored. These are two teams of similar quality, and their main focus will likely be avoiding early mistakes. For this reason, a low-scoring game seems like a solid choice for this encounter.
