- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
- Venue: Fir Park
Motherwell face Peterhead in the second round of the 2025 Scottish League Cup at Fir Park on Tuesday.
The home side kicked off their Scottish League Cup campaign with a 5-4 penalty shoot-out win over Clyde after a 2-2 draw in 90 minutes of regulation time.
Peterhead, on the other hand, suffered a 4-2 defeat to Greenock Morton in the first round.
Motherwell - Peterhead Betting Tips: Motherwell -1.5 Asian Handicap
Motherwell are vastly superior to Peterhead as they come from the Scottish Premiership and have years of experience in the top flight. Peterhead can only boast of playing in League Two, the fourth tier of Scottish football, and are therefore automatically one of the teams with less pedigree. The 4-2 defeat to Greenock Morton in the first round was a good indication of the difference in class, so we expect Motherwell to win by at least a couple of goals on Tuesday.
Motherwell team news
Motherwell have a fully fit squad to face Peterhead. Tawanda Maswanhise scored a brace in the first League Cup game against Clyde and is in good form.
