๐ Form Guide
Motherwell
LDLLWW ๐ค
Motherwell will be looking for a repeat result of the 1-2 Premiership victory over Rangers.
In that match, Motherwell had 30% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. For Motherwell, goals were scored by Theo Bair (9') and Dan Casey (75'). Rangers got 31 shots at goal with 11 of them on target. James Tavernier (60') was the scorer for Rangers.
Itโs been all too rare in recent times where Motherwell have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Motherwell have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 12 goals during that time. It will be interesting to see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained in this game.
Going into this encounter, Motherwell have not beaten Aberdeen in their previous 4 league matches.
