Motherwell vs Dundee United Predictions


Both teams are in good form, and a competitive contest should see plenty of chances at both ends. 

BTTS is my preferred pick, while I wouldn't be surprised to see this cup tie go the distance.

  • Motherwell have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 matches
  • Motherwell have drawn 3 of their last 4 matches (League Cup)
  • Dundee Utd have seen BTTS in their last 2 matches against Motherwell
  • Dundee Utd have seen BTTS in 2 of their last 3 away matches

Head to Head


Motherwell and Dundee Utd have faced each other 21 times since 2014. Dundee Utd picked up 11 wins, while Motherwell earned seven wins during that period. 

The most recent encounter in 2023 saw five goals scored, with Motherwell earning a 3-2 win at Fir Park. 

Motherwell Form


Motherwell return to Fir Park after seeing their three-game winning run brought to a halt at Aberdeen last weekend. Pape Guèye's double strike secured a 2-1 victory for the on-form hosts. 

After a 1-0 League Cup win against Kilmarnock, Stuart Kettlewell's side scored back-to-back Premiership wins against Hearts (3-1), and St. Johnstone (2-1) before their defeat at Pittodrie.

In possession of a decent home record, Motherwell are unbeaten in seven of their last nine games at Fir Park.

Motherwell Team News


Head coach Kettlewell has a lengthy list of absentees on Friday. Apostolos Stamatelopoulos, Callum Slattery, Harry Paton, Filip Stuparevic, Johnny Koutroumbis, Sam Nicholson and Shane Blaney are all ruled out for the Steelmen. 

Dundee United Form


Dundee United turn their attention to League Cup action after seeing their seven-game unbeaten run snapped with a 1-0 Premiership defeat against Rangers. 

Jim Goodwin's side have made an impressive start to the season following their promotion from the Championship. The Tangerines won six and drew one match across all competitions before their narrow defeat last weekend. 

On the road, United are unbeaten in their last three matches, including an impressive 1-0 win at Hearts. 

Dundee United Team News


Dundee Utd make the trip to Fir Park with a couple of expected absentees for Friday's League Cup contest. Injured duo Ryan Strain and Kevin Holt are both tipped to miss out.

Verdict

Picking a winner could prove tricky in a competitive cup contest on Friday.

Instead, I'm taking BTTS in a match that could require extra time or penalties to decide the outcome.
