Motherwell

LWWDLL

Motherwell will be wanting a better result here following the 2-0 Premiership losing effort in their last game against Kilmarnock.

In that game, Motherwell managed 46% possession and 4 shots on goal with 1 on target. Kilmarnock got 17 shots at goal with 10 on target. Fraser Murray (22') and Joe Wright (53') scored for Kilmarnock.

It’s been seldom in recent times where Motherwell haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Motherwell have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 11 goals along the way. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, though.

Heading into this fixture, Motherwell haven't been defeated in their previous 2 home league matches.

Hearts

WLWWLL

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Dundee United in Premiership action, Hearts and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Hearts managed 51% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. Dundee United got 7 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Sam Dalby (67') scored for Dundee United.

The numbers tell their own story, and Hearts have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 8 goals in total. At the back, Hearts have clearly had some problems.

Heading into this fixture, Hearts haven’t won away from home in the past 2 matches in the league.

Motherwell might need a bit of good fortune to register a score against this Hearts team who should end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore see a very competitive game with a 0-1 advantage for Hearts after 90 minutes.

Let’s see how this one goes.
