- Motherwell are unbeaten in two home games in the Premiership 2026/2027 (W1, D1).
- Motherwell average 1.50 goals per game at home in the Premiership 2026/2027.
Motherwell have momentum and the home advantage
Motherwell have a solid start in the top half of the table with eight points from five games that puts them 5th in the 2026/2027 Scottish Premiership standings.
However, their results have been inconsistent of late (W1, D1, L3) and that won't help their chances on Tuesday. The Steelmen started the season with a 3-3 draw at St Mirren before recording their first win at home to Dundee United (3-0). Motherwell then lost 1-0 away to Rangers, although the match was overshadowed by the racism allegations that followed the game.
New boss Alfred Johansson has installed a more possession-based 4-3-9 model to the side in the mould of Rosenborg. The team have looked sharp in their transitions and are high-intensity in their pressing style, but they are often caught out when they have the ball and have kept clean sheets so far.
Aberdeen’s away woes
Aberdeen have also had an average start to the season and currently sit 10th in the 2026/2027 table with four points from their first five games.

He has deployed the players into an aggressive, high-intensity pressing system and they are far more efficient when they win the ball back and transition up the pitch quickly.

Steelmen to secure the spoils
With just two clean sheets between them this season, backing both teams to score at 31/50 looks a solid angle here. However, Motherwell have been much more comfortable in their own backyard this term and Aberdeen's woes on the road make the home side the most likely winners.
Motherwell are 67/100 favourites with the bookmakers, ahead of the Dons at 3/1 and the draw at 11/4, but we feel that the Steelmen are more likely to come out on top at Fir Park on Tuesday.
Over 2.5 goals at 18/25 also fits well here with Motherwell averaging 1.50 goals per home game and having kept clean sheets in the 2026/2027 campaign, and Aberdeen conceding five goals in two away trips.
Motherwell boss Alfred Johansson is the manager, so we're not sure what it means that Motherwell are well placed for the spoils, but it sounded good.
Alex Lowry has been the spark in the hosts' attacking play this term, leading their scoring charts with one goal in five Premiership 2026/2027 games. Lewis Mayo has also provided some flair from the depths of the midfield, registering one assist in five Premiership 2026/2027 games.
Aberdeen's main threat is Kevin Nisbet, who has also scored two goals in his five 2026/2027 Premiership outings. Nisbet has scored three of the last six goals for The Dons in all competitions, so he looks a good value anytime goalscorer bet at around 15/4.
