Motherwell and Peterhead had contrasting fortunes in the opening round of the League Cup in Group G. The two will face off in the second round, hosted by Motherwell this Tuesday. After their opening results, Motherwell sit second and Peterhead bottom. Read on for our prediction.
The Steelmen needed post-match penalties to overcome Clyde FC after drawing 2-2. Having started their season on the road, Motherwell will hope for a better performance at Fir Park.
Motherwell have had their unstable moments and are currently on their third manager in one year. Berthel Askou will be concerned that his charges struggled against a League 2 side for 120 minutes.
While Motherwell were disappointed at their opening result, Peterhead’s was worse. They started off the season with a 4-2 defeat to Greenock Morton. The League Two winners last season were second best throughout their first-round encounter.
The only moment they showed a real urge to fight, they got the match to 1-1 courtesy of Oliver Colloty’s penalty. The visitors have now suffered three defeats in their last four competitive matches.
In the last six on the road, Peterhead managed just one win. After letting in four last time out, they’ll be particularly worried after conceding 10 goals in their last two away matches. Facing a side in a higher league doesn’t make things easier.

Our Motherwell vs Peterhead Prediction
Peterhead are at risk of losing a second straight game in the Scottish League Cup. While they finished last season as champions in League Two, they didn’t end the campaign on a winning note. It isn’t a surprise, therefore, that they’ve started this one the same way. Now they are on three defeats in the last four competitive matches.
Here they face a Motherwell side looking to improve on their win on penalties in the first round. What’s clear here is that Motherwell are favorites, and this is likely to end in high scores. Our prediction for Motherwell v Peterhead is for Motherwell to win and over 2.5 goals.
