Command Analysis

Motherwell

Current form
Motherwell were not considered clear contenders for a place in the top six before the start of the season, but they have been playing at a very high level in the first part of the season. At the moment, Stuart Kettlewell team is in sixth place in the table with 26 points and is five points ahead of seventh Hibernian - such a handicap does not guarantee anything yet. In the last round, Motherwell lost 0:4 away to Celtic, thus breaking a series of three matches without defeat.
Disqualifications and injuries
Callahan, Slattery and Robinson are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Motherwell have suffered just one defeat in their last four matches
- Motherwell have scored in four of their last five home games
Probable line-up: Oxborough - Casey, Balmer, Blaney - Kaleta, Paton, Miller, Wilson - Sparrow, Maswankhize - Watt.

Rangers

Current form
Before the start of the season, Rangers were considered one of the main contenders for the championship title along with Celtic, but the championship is frankly failing so far. With 35 points, Philippe Clement team is in second place in the table and is already 12 points behind the leader Celtic - it will be almost impossible to make up such a handicap. In the last round, Rangers lost to St. Mirren with a score of 1:2, thus breaking a series of four victories in a row in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kasanvirjo is injured.

1.29Tip and bets
After the defeat to St. Mirren, Rangers will definitely be looking to rehabilitate themselves and get a win, keeping the gap from Aberdeen. Overall, the Jerseys definitely have a chance of success – Motherwell is seriously inferior in class, has problems with stability, and the Steelworkers are unlikely to be able to withstand a motivated Rangers.
We think the hosts have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Rangers . This bet is offered for 1.99
Bet on total
"Rangers" will certainly be in a very determined mood today and will bet on attack - there is a high probability that Motherwell will have problems in defense already in the first half. At the same time, on their home field, the "steelworkers" play openly and will probably also take risks today - recently, "Rangers" have not been perfect at their goal, an exchange of goals will certainly take place.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.95
Bet on corners
Rangers are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-3) on corners for Rangers. This bet is offered for 1.69
