Motherwell vs St Mirren preview
Motherwell and St Mirren are two of several draw specialists in the William Hill Premiership this season so it is hardly any great surprise that their one meeting this season ended 0-0.
That was one of four league draws for the Buddies, who have also drawn both their knockout ties in this competition – against Hearts and Kilmarnock – before triumphing on penalties.
Motherwell have drawn five in the league and also at St Johnstone in the League Cup, going on to win 1-0 in extra time.
Given all that and given the size of the stakes and tension of the occasion, it makes sense to think this semi-final at Hampden Park will finish all-square after 90 minutes.
Motherwell, who have only outscored in the league been by Hearts, have arguably the greater firepower and are easier on the eye.
But St Mirren go into this tie following a sterling 2-2 home draw with leaders Hearts on Wednesday night, indicative of just what they can achieve when they roll up their sleeves.
Under 2.5 goals would be a next best in what could easily turn into something of a risk-free air at Hampden’s wide-open spaces, but the draw gets the vote.
