Prediction : Motherwell 1-0 Dunfermline (maybe 2-0)


Hmmm Dunfermline are starting to seriously fuck me off, but I put their 3-0 win at Kilmarnock down to a terrible home performance and also a freak result. This will give Dunfermline a boost and they will have been waiting for this catch up game for a while and ofcourse now with Hibs losing at the weekend Dunfermline can get themselves off the bottom of the league with a result. But I reckon even with Motherwell's slightly poor home record this year they have this game in the bag. They are better in every position and play much better as a unit. Also this will be Dunfermline's 3rd game in 10 days, one of which went to extra time, whereas Motherwell have only played 2.

Normally I would be gunning at the -1 asian handicap @2.05 (Victor Chandler) but Motherwell have not really been scoring well this season, proved by their -1 goal diff so I fear they might not cover the spread.

Just a straight home win for me, best odds @ 1.67 (William Hill)
