Motherwell vs Dundee Utd — Tips & Analysis

Under 3: Neither side scores enough to make this a busy night. Motherwell score just over a goal a game at Fir Park and let in just over a goal a game there. Dundee Utd score just over a goal a game on the road. Motherwell have won 2, tied 3 and lost 3 at home, and they have not won six of their last eight home games. They come back on a three-day turnaround, with their European run already ended by Freiburg, and that rarely makes for an open game. Dundee Utd have taken two wins from ten away from Tannadice and they let in almost 2 goals a game on their travels. They are also missing Naamo, Miller Thomson and William Ferry. There is very little between these two sides, and their meetings back that up. The last 20 games between them averaged just over 2 goals in total. A 1-1 tie is the likely result, and that is the quiet night we are backing. The risk is that both sides arrive off busy games. Motherwell tied 3-3 at St Mirren last time out, and Dundee Utd won 4-0 at Kilmarnock. Dundee Utd's form has swung about badly this season, and one loose night like those would beat this. We still expect a low-scoring, even game at Fir Park.
