Rangers aim to surpass Celtic in the Scottish Premiership standings this weekend by securing a win against Motherwell in an away match.
Last season, the hosts ended the first half in 8th place. However, their performance this season has deteriorated. Stuart Kettlewell’s team now finds themselves in the last two places and has gone fourteen straight league games without a win, suffering eight losses and six draws.
In recent weeks, Rangers have been on a roll. Heading into this weekend’s game, Philippe Clement’s team boasts six consecutive victories, with 12 goals scored and only three conceded. Given Rangers’ impressive track record against Motherwell &— securing five victories in their last five encounters &— they are indisputably the favourites for Sunday’s match.
Motherwell vs Rangers Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Motherwell’s defence has definitely struggled this season, particularly on their home turf. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their past nine home games across all tournaments and have conceded a minimum of two goals in five of their last six matches. Bets on over 2.5 goals have been successful in an equal number of games.
Meanwhile, Rangers have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last two matches, although both were home games. Away from home, Clement’s team have only managed to achieve clean sheets in two out of their last five games. Additionally, Rangers’ defensive performance against Motherwell on their ground has been disappointing, with no clean sheets in the last six games. Only one of these games concluded with fewer than 2.5 goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Motherwell vs Rangers prediction: 1-3
