ST Johnstone – Motherwell

ST Johnstone host Motherwell at McDiarmid Park with the league table already hinting at a tight contest. Johnstone sit fifth with 12 points from three wins, three draws and three defeats, their goal tally perfectly balanced at 11‑11, while Motherwell sit just above the relegation zone in 23rd place on 10 points after three victories, a single draw and two losses, edging a modest +2 goal difference. Both sides have won three games this season, but Johnstone’s unbeaten run in the last six matches gives them a slight edge heading into the encounter. The game could prove pivotal for Motherwell’s survival hopes and for Johnstone’s push for a top‑half finish.
