Saturday's Scottish Premiership predictions including Motherwell vs. Dundee United

Hibernian vs. Ross County (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Hibernian, looking to climb from the bottom of the Scottish Premiership table, are set to host Ross County at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon for matchday 17 of the season.

The hosts are at the foot of the table with 12 points from their opening 16 fixtures, while the visitors are eighth in the standings with 15 points after their 16 games.

We say: Hibernian 1-1 Ross County

Both teams have endured challenging starts to the season, and with six draws each in 16 league games, the joint most in the league, we predict this match will end in a stalemate.

Motherwell vs. Dundee Utd (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Motherwell and Dundee United, separated by only one position in the Scottish Premiership table, are set to face off at Fir Park on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts are fifth in the standings with 22 points after 15 fixtures, while the visitors are sitting fourth in the table with 24 points from their opening 15 games.

We say: Motherwell 1-1 Dundee United

These two sides are separated by just two points and one position in the Scottish Premiership table, leaving them rather evenly matched heading into this one, and with this, we predict this one will end all square.

St Johnstone vs. St Mirren (Saturday, 3.00pm)

St Mirren, aiming to recover from a two-game losing streak, will travel to McDiarmid Park to face St Johnstone on Saturday afternoon for matchday 17 of the Scottish Premiership season.

The hosts are ninth in the table with 14 points from their opening 16 games, while the visitors are seventh in the standings with 18 points after their first 16 fixtures.

We say: St Johnstone 1-0 St Mirren

St Johnstone will be boosted by their 1-1 draw with Aberdeen last time out, and with St Mirren managing just one league win on the road this season, we believe the hosts will secure the three points here.
