Motherwell have been a favorite among bettors this season and remain ahead of the bookmakers.
They are priced attractively at 29/20 with McBookie.com to secure a festive win against a struggling Dundee United side.
Jens Berthel Askou’s team proudly sits in third place in the Premiership, and it’s fair to say they could be level with Hearts if not for several draws early in the season—matches they could and should have won.
Their straightforward victory over Livingston last week extended their unbeaten league run to eight games, and they play the most entertaining football in the top division.
While they may need to capitalize more effectively on their possession, they are delightful to watch.
Conversely, Jim Goodwin’s United team face significant issues. They were booed off after their defeat at St Mirren last week and have now won just one of their last ten games.
They have goalkeeping challenges, and it could be a tough afternoon at Tannadice.
Falkirk vs Hearts prediction
Hearts have been supported following their win at Celtic last week, but still appear to be a good value at 5/6 with McBookie.com to extend their lead at the top to six points by winning at Falkirk on Saturday night.
The Jambos effectively countered Wilfred Nancy’s revamped Celtic, who were also defeated by Roma midweek, aligning with our prediction, with a 2-1 win last week and exhibited excellent defense at Parkhead.
They did have some fortune, but that’s often necessary in Glasgow, and they have now won against both Celtic and Rangers this season.
Despite a recent dip in form, they possess a squad capable of rotating players and achieving positive results.
Falkirk has enjoyed a dream return to the Premiership following two promotions in succession, and a top-six finish is within reach.
However, they were dismantled by Hibs last week at Easter Road, and you would assume Derek McInnes would have taken notes.
Annan Athletic vs Forfar Athletic prediction
Annan Athletic have shown improvement recently, and their home form could enable them to outperform Forfar Athletic at McBookie.com’s 13/10.
Wullie Gibson’s side easily managed Buckie Thistle in the Scottish Cup and secured a home draw with the high-flying Spartans.
They are unbeaten in seven home matches across all competitions and should have the upper hand over a Forfar team that suffered a heavy defeat to East Kilbride at home last week.
