What to expect

We expect about 1.2 goals from St Johnstone and 1.3 from Motherwell, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Motherwell come into this on four straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: St Johnstone or Draw. This covers St Johnstone or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 65 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.34, which works out at about 75 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓St Johnstone have won two of their last five.
✓Motherwell have won one of their last five.
