FootyMAD's Motherwell match preview

History of the St. Johnstone v Motherwell fixture

St. Johnstone play host to Motherwell at McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 20 of the 54 previous games, with the Saints winning just 19.

The last time the two teams met at St. Johnstone was back in January 2004, over five years ago, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish F.A. Cup match.
