Motherwell vs Rangers Prediction and Betting Tips | November 3rd 2024

Motherwell will host Rangers at Fir Park on Sunday in the semifinals of the 2024-25 Scottish League Cup campaign. The home side have performed well in their league assignments of late but will break from that this weekend as they turn their attention to cup action.

After a strong performance in the group stages back in July, the Steelmen locked horns with Kilmarnock in the last 16 of the tournament, picking up a narrow 1-0 win. They were then drawn against Dundee United in the quarterfinals, picking up a 2-1 win via goals from Zach Robinson and Lennon Miller.

Meanwhile, Rangers kicked off their cup campaign with a 2-0 home win over St. Johnstone featuring second-half strikes from Cyriel Dessers and Ross McCausland. They then knocked out Dundee in the quarterfinals with a 3-0 win, with Dessers scoring a brace alongside a penalty strike from team captain James Tavernier.

The visitors are the current holders of the Scottish League Cup after beating Aberdeen 1-0 in last season's final. They will be targeting a win this weekend as they continue their hunt for a successful title defense for the first time in well over a decade.

Motherwell vs Rangers Prediction

Motherwell beat Dundee United 2-1 in their last match, ending a run of consecutive defeats and they will be looking to kick on from that this weekend. They have, however, lost their last two home matches and could struggle here.

Meanwhile, Rangers saw their latest result end a run of back-to-back wins and they will be looking to put out a response on Sunday. They have been the better side in this fixture in recent years and should have enough to win here despite their worrying away form.

Prediction: Motherwell 1-2 Rangers
