St. Johnstone - Motherwell

Wednesday evening at McDiarmid Park, St. Johnstone and Motherwell meet for matchday 11 of the Premiership. Both sides enter this fixture looking to steady their respective campaigns following recent setbacks. St. Johnstone, who are expected to field an XI featuring Josh Fowler and Jamie Gullan, suffered a heavy defeat against Rangers in their most recent outing. Conversely, Motherwell arrive in search of a revival after a difficult run of results, including a recent loss to Heart of Midlothian. With the visitors expected to rely on the midfield presence of Joe Hodge and Dylan Levitt, the tactical battle in the centre of the park will be pivotal to the outcome.

St. Johnstone’s form has been inconsistent, highlighted by a narrow victory over Aberdeen earlier in October. Motherwell have struggled to find momentum, with their last league win coming against Dundee United in early September. The history between these two clubs remains competitive, with their most recent Premiership meeting in April 2025 ending in a narrow victory for Motherwell. As both teams look to climb the table, securing points at McDiarmid Park is essential for establishing a more positive trajectory heading into the winter months.
