- Aberdeen’s wasteful finishing
- Despite managing 16 shots against Livingston, Aberdeen only put two on target, underlining their attacking inconsistency in the final third.
- Motherwell’s endless draws
- The Steelmen have drawn all five of their Premiership matches this season, proving difficult to beat but unable to land a knockout punch.
- Head-to-head goals galore
- Across their last six meetings, Aberdeen and Motherwell have produced 18 goals combined, averaging three per game, which strongly supports the Both Teams to Score market.
Best Bet for Aberdeen vs Motherwell
Coventry City to Win & Over 1.5 Goals | |
33/20 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Backing Coventry to Win & Over 1.5 Goals makes sense: the division’s most potent attack meets a limited Millwall strike force, and Coventry’s consistency should be enough to grab a valuable away victory.

The Premier Sports Cup quarter-final at Pittodrie feels like a match loaded with subplots, the kind of game that can swing a season’s mood one way or another. Aberdeen are coming into this with frustration still simmering after their goalless draw with Livingston, a performance that once again highlighted their ongoing struggle to convert pressure into goals. Sixteen efforts and only two on target is the kind of wastefulness that makes supporters wonder if their boots are tied together.

Motherwell, on the other hand, are in a strange position. Five Premiership games, five draws. Jens Berthel Askou’s men clearly know how to stay in a contest, but they just cannot seem to close one out. Tawanda Maswanhise’s goal against Dundee last weekend should have been the springboard to a first victory of the campaign, yet they were pegged back almost instantly. That inability to kill off games is starting to grate, even if there is optimism around the squad.
This is not just another quarter-final. For Liam Gordon, it’s about chasing silverware again, something he knows all too well from his St Johnstone days. For Aberdeen, it’s about proving they are not sleepwalking through the season. And for the supporters? It’s about bragging rights, hope, and a much-needed jolt of excitement.
Best Bet for this match
Here at BettingTips4You, we cut through the noise and stick to one bet per game – not a dozen confusing tips. For Aberdeen vs Motherwell, our Best Bet is Both Teams to Score – Yes. Among all the possible wagers, this stands out as the ultimate selection. We pride ourselves on quality over quantity, and this clarity means you know exactly where we stand. If the bet comes off, brilliant. If not, we take the hit openly – accountability is key.
The reasoning behind this choice is layered but clear. Aberdeen have been a mixed bag in front of goal, but at Pittodrie they tend to create more than enough chances to score at least once. Against Livingston, the issue wasn’t creating, it was finishing. With Kevin Nisbet and Leighton Clarkson both capable of chipping in from midfield and attack, the likelihood of a home goal feels high.
Motherwell, meanwhile, have found the net in each of their last six outings, averaging 1.33 goals per game in that spell. Maswanhise is proving a nuisance to defenders, while Liam Gordon’s praise for Stephen Welsh’s composure hints at a side with more stability at the back, allowing them to commit bodies forward. The Steelmen’s problem isn’t finding the net; it’s keeping their opponents from doing the same.
The head-to-head record underlines this. In their last six meetings, there have been 18 goals shared between them, an average of three per game. That’s not the kind of stat that screams “cagey affair.” Even when Aberdeen thumped them 4-1 in March, Motherwell still got on the scoresheet.

“When you look at Aberdeen’s tendency to leave the back door open and Motherwell’s streak of scoring without winning, both teams to score feels less like a gamble and more like common sense.”
Our predicted correct score? Aberdeen 2-1 Motherwell. The Dons’ greater individual quality in attack might just shade it, but there is no way the Steelmen leave without asking serious questions of their defence.
