Saturday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Rangers vs. Ross County

sportsmole.co.uk, 4 February 2023, 06:45
Aberdeen vs. Motherwell (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Aberdeen welcome Motherwell to Pittodrie on Saturday in a meeting of the two most out-of-form sides in the Scottish Premiership.

No other clubs in the Scottish top flight are currently under as much scrutiny as these two following equally dreadful results.

We say: Aberdeen 1-1 Motherwell

Neither side can buy a win at the moment, so it is hard to imagine there will be much quality on show at either end of the pitch.

A draw may not be the worst result as it would end the respective losing runs both sides are on.

Hearts vs. Dundee Utd (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Hearts will be looking to bounce back from a midweek defeat to Rangers when they welcome Dundee United to Tynecastle on Saturday afternoon.

With Dundee United rooted to the foot of the Scottish Premiership table, the Jam Tarts will be hopeful of returning to winning ways on home soil.

We say: Hearts 3-1 Dundee United

With Dundee United languishing at the foot of the table, Hearts should return to winning ways this weekend, with Neilson's men expected to maintain their high-scoring home form against one of the leakiest backlines in the division.

Livingston vs. Kilmarnock (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Kilmarnock will go in search of their first away league victory of the season when they face Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena on Saturday.

The two sides are separated by nine points in the Scottish Premiership table, with fifth-placed Livi leading ninth-placed Killie, who find themselves just three points clear of the bottom.

We say: Livingston 1-0 Kilmarnock

Livingston have recorded three low-scoring draws in their previous three home league games, but Martindale's men should claim all three points this weekend, as Kilmarnock have taken just two points from a possible 36 on the road this season.

Rangers vs. Ross County (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Rangers will look to keep the heat on at the top of the Scottish Premiership when they welcome Ross County to Ibrox on Saturday afternoon.

Despite a phenomenal run of form since Michael Beale arrived as manager, Rangers are still some way off leaders Celtic.

We say: Rangers 4-0 Ross County

Rangers once again need to show up and get the job done and hope St. Johnstone can do them a favour on Sunday against Celtic.

Ross County are huge underdogs for this one and will almost certainly come to defend to try to snatch an unlikely point.

St Mirren vs. Hibernian (Saturday, 3.00pm)

St Mirren will look to close in on the top three in the Scottish Premiership when they welcome Hibernian to Paisley on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors, meanwhile, could leapfrog their opponents in the top-flight standings if they can claim maximum points.

We say: St Mirren 2-1 Hibernian

A closely-fought contest between two evenly-matched sides will likely to take place in Paisley, with the winners set to finish the weekend in fourth spot.

Hibs have fared well in recent meetings with St Mirren, but we believed the hosts will do just enough to secure a narrow victory.
