Motherwell

WWDLLD ⚖

Motherwell enter this match following a 0-0 Premiership drawn game versus Hearts.

In that match, Motherwell managed 45% possession and 5 shots at goal with 0 on target. At the other end, Hearts got 12 attempts at goal with 2 on target.

It’s been all too rare in recent times where Motherwell have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Motherwell have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 10 goals along the way. Putting that to one side, we will just have to wait and see if that trend might continue on in this upcoming match or not.

It has become apparent that St Johnstone have suffered from a shortage of goals over their previous six clashes, contributing the unsatisfactory return of only 2. In those fixtures, The Saints have also seen the overall goal tally of opposing teams equal 9.

Ross Callachan (Hamstring injury), Steve Seddon (unknown injury) and Zach Robinson (Achilles tendon rupture) are not available for Motherwell boss Michael Wimmer.
