Motherwell betting trends at a glance In line with average

Over 202 matches on file, Motherwell's most frequent betting market is Over 1.5 Goals in the Match, which has landed 80.2% of the time. 1st Half Over 0.5 Goals (77.2%) and Over 2.5 Cards in the Match (75.7%) follow, with To Score and Over 7.5 Corners in the Match completing the top 5.

None of these markets differs from the average Scottish Premiership side by more than chance could explain at this sample size, so none of them sets Motherwell apart.

Overall, Motherwell's top markets land about as often as they do for the typical Scottish Premiership club. These are common Scottish Premiership outcomes rather than something particular to Motherwell, and gaps like these are within normal variation at this sample size.

These are past frequencies, not predictions. A market that lands often is usually already priced short by bookmakers, so a high strike rate does not make it a profitable bet. Use the figures to see what is normal for Motherwell, then compare them with the odds on offer.

Gambling can be addictive. 18+ only. Responsible gambling.
