Motherwell vs Aberdeen betting tips: Scottish Premiership preview, predictions and odds

Recommended bets

These two sides have already met three times this season with Motherwell winning all three. They're looking to win four straight meetings with the Dons for the first time since 2011.

Motherwell to win is 9/5.

Motherwell to win and both teams to score is 6/1.

In three appearances against Aberdeen this season, Kevin van Veen has scored four goals and provided an assist. The Dutch striker is 5/1 to open the scoring and 15/8 to add to his tally.

Match preview

Stephen Glass may be gone but wins continue not to come Aberdeen's way.

On Tuesday night, the Dons could only draw 1-1 with bottom of the table St Johnstone at Pittodrie with Lewis Ferguson equalising via a penalty.

This lifts Aberdeen up to eighth but their only win in eight since Boxing Day came against League Two Edinburgh City in the cup.

Will that barren run end here?

Motherwell meanwhile will be buoyant having beaten the Dons in the Scottish Cup just seven days ago.

Christian Ramirez did open the scoring but the Well came from behind to win 2-1 with Kevin van Veen and then Connor Shields on target.

Back in the Premiership, Graham Alexander's side are actually also winless in 2022, amassing just two points from six games.

Nevertheless, the Steelmen are fifth, occupying the last potential Europa Conference League qualifying spot.

Will Fir Park witness déjà vu as Aberdeen return to North Lanarkshire?

Motherwell team news

With Tony Watt having left for Dundee United in January, there is extra onus on Motherwell's remaining attacking players to get the goals.

Luckily, Kevin van Veen loves playing against Aberdeen having scored four and provided an assist in three games against them so far this season.

Stephen O'Donnell was surprisingly left out the XI last weekend but should return here.

Aberdeen team news

Caretaker manager Barry Robson did not make wholesale changes in midweek as he looks to find that winning formulae.

In midfield, Funso Ojo could return in place of 19 year old Connor Barron.

Lewis Ferguson, who got his 12th of the season against St Johnstone, will support Christian Ramirez who's scored 15 times since arriving from Houston Dynamo.
