Both Motherwell and St Johnstone's Scottish Premiership openers were defined by a sole goal, the hosts winning in Perth, but the visitors losing in Paisley. The Steelmen opted to sack Graham Alexander, after one of the most humiliating results in their history, which saw their continental dream end in an embarrassing European exit. So it's back to the domestic scene for the Well and so far, so good. A win in this one could be a huge step in winning back some supporters after an abysmal end to last season and a stuttering start to this one. As for Saints, their season was off to an equally shocking start as they were dumped out of the Premier Sports Cup in the group stage as League 2 side Annan Athletic topped their group. A last-gasp defeat to Hibs at home won't have helped matters and neither would a loss to managerless Motherwell. Saints are traditionally slow starters, but don't want a repeat of last season whatsoever. The two teams met three times in the league last season, as Motherwell won in Lanarkshire and the two Perth matches ended in a draw and a Saints win. However, the morale boost they'll have felt last weekend could push the hosts to another narrow victory here. 1:0
