The visiting Motherwell side should be favourites in this visit to St. Mirren, as the away team holds a 14 point advantage from their 15 league games this season.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for St. Mirren and Motherwell.

St. Mirren have played 7 Premiership games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).
St. Mirren lost their last game at Aberdeen (placed 3rd) after a 1-2 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Hibernian (1-2).

Motherwell form and stats
As the visiting team in Premiership matches, Motherwell have produced an overall stat of 3-1-3 so far. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on S. Robinson, the Motherwell manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
The supporters enjoyed Motherwell's previous game versus St. Johnstone (placed 12th), a Premiership 4-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hibernian wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
As mentioned above, Motherwell was the only team on the pitch versus St. Johnstone in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
After this away game Motherwell return home for a Premiership game against Hearts. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Motherwell are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 7 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Motherwell have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
