Kilmarnock

WLLLDL

Kilmarnock will be hoping for a better result after a 5-1 Premiership loss in their previous game against St Mirren.

In that match, Kilmarnock had 58% possession and 5 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. The scorer for Kilmarnock was Bruce Anderson (88'). On the other side, St Mirren had 9 shots on goal with 8 of them on target. Caolan Boyd-Munce (6', 58'), Roland Idowu (9'), Mark O'Hara (65') and Declan John (69') scored for St Mirren.

It has been seldom in recent times that Kilmarnock have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Kilmarnock have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 13 goals on the way. That trend might not follow through into this match, though.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Kilmarnock:

• haven't lost in the league to Motherwell in their previous 4 matches.
• have not emerged victorious against Motherwell in their previous 3 league matches.
• are without a win at home for the past 2 league matches.

Motherwell

LLWWDL

Since being beaten in their last game against Aberdeen in Premiership competition, Motherwell will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Motherwell had 38% possession and 10 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. The only player to score for Motherwell was Callum Slattery (5'). For their opponents, Aberdeen had 15 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. Alfie Dorrington (13'), Leighton Clarkson (37') and Kevin Nisbet (77', 92') scored for Aberdeen.

The stats don’t lie, and Motherwell have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 12 goals in all. At the back, Motherwell certainly have room for improvement.

Ahead of this clash, Motherwell haven't beaten Kilmarnock when having played them away from home in the previous 5 matches in the league. Not good.

🗞️ Team News: Kilmarnock

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the lone fitness concern for the Kilmarnock boss Derek McInnes to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy group of players. Stuart Findlay (Ankle injury) misses out.

🗞️ Team News: Motherwell

Motherwell manager Michael Wimmer has to choose a team with limited availability. Ross Callachan (Hamstring injury), Steve Seddon (unknown injury) and Zach Robinson (Achilles tendon rupture) are not able to play.

💭 Prediction

In this game, Kilmarnock will more than likely get the goals that they need when they line up against Motherwell, who might well find it a difficult task scoring.

We’re therefore expecting to see a 2-0 margin for Kilmarnock at the end of the match.
