Match analysis
Ten goals conceded in three matches is the number driving Superior's Over 1.5 goals pick in Motherwell vs Dundee Utd on 2 September, priced at 1.25 and rated 64 percent. Dundee United have been the leakier side by some distance, while Motherwell have stayed involved in goals without being prolific.
Dundee United have conceded ten in three games
Dundee United's last three results read a 0-2 defeat at Dundee, a 0-4 defeat at home to Celtic and a 0-4 away loss at Hearts, only their 4-0 win at Kilmarnock breaking a run of heavy losses. Motherwell have been steadier, drawing 0-0 with Falkirk and 1-1 with HJK Helsinki either side of a 2-0 win over the same Finnish side, a mixed attacking record but enough goalscoring form to expect at least a couple in this one.
Motherwell drew 0-0 with Falkirk only weeks ago
The way this loses is a repeat of Motherwell's own 0-0 draw with Falkirk, the one match in their recent sample that produced nothing at all. Dundee United have also shown they can keep a game tight when it suits them, drawing 1-1 with Rangers in their last outing before this slump began, so a return to that shape from both sides rather than the heavy scorelines either has been part of elsewhere is the specific way this pick fails.
