Scotland Premiership
The second week of the season pits two teams against each other who showed character in their first championship matches - St. Mirren and Motherwell. The hosts lost narrowly as guests to the champion Celtic, while Motherwell snatched a point against Rangers after a late equalizer. Both teams demonstrated organized defense and a strong battle in every area of the field.
Even matches in recent yearsThe history of the rivalry between St. Mirren and Motherwell suggests a new tactical battle, in which one goal often proves to be enough. In five of their last seven meetings, the result remained below the 2.5 goals mark. The opponents know each other well, and the difference between them is usually minimal, as in 19 of their last 20 matches, the winner was determined by a margin of at most one goal.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goalsI expect both teams to rely on their well-known cautious tactics. Balance and attention in defense will likely have an advantage over the attack, making the prediction for under 2.5 goals in this match a completely justified choice.
