ℹ️ Team News: Motherwell
Ross Callachan (Hamstring injury), Steve Seddon (unknown injury) and Zach Robinson (Achilles tendon rupture) aren’t available for Motherwell gaffer Michael Wimmer.
📋 Team News: Kilmarnock
Out of a mainly available squad, there is just a single fitness worry for the Kilmarnock gaffer Derek McInnes to contend with. Stuart Findlay (Ankle injury) misses out for this game.
🧠 Prediction
We’re thinking that Kilmarnock and Motherwell might both not be able to do quite enough to get on the scoresheet here.
We’ll have to see, but a draw might be on the cards. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very competitive game with a 0-0 draw by the conclusion of this game.
