Motherwell v Falkirk Tips

Motherwell look to be picking up where they left off under Jens Berthel Askou and playing the same exciting brand of football under Alfred Johansson. They've now won 3 games on the bounce including a two-legged European tie and away at Hibs. Falkirk on the other hand looked nowhere near the side they were last season going down 2-0 at home to St. Mirren in a game which could easily have been 4 or 5. They haven't replaced the quality of Barney Stewart and Calvin Miller and look to be heading into a tough season. Motherwell are away in Finland on Thursday night but I think they are clearly the better side out of these two and should have enough to get all 3 points here.

In midweek, Motherwell drew 1-1 with HJK in the first leg of the Conference League. The hosts could be more focused on their second leg against the Finnish team than on this league meeting with Falkirk. Motherwell are winless in their last four Premiership matches against Falkirk, and they lost both meetings with Falkirk on this ground last season.

Two of Motherwell's last three competitive games have produced at least three goals. Falkirk's most recent win was a 3-0 victory against Stranraer in the League Cup. Last season, Falkirk defeated Motherwell 2-1 and 3-2 on this ground. I predict that this game will have at least three goals.

Motherwell are in good form, having won the last 4 matches, while Falkirk lost their last match with no BTTS. I'm backing the away team to win this match with BTTS because they beat the home team here last season 3-2. I think they can do it again in this match because they have a good record here against the home team.
