St Mirren, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for St Mirren supremo Stephen Robinson after sustaining a heavy 4-0 away loss to Celtic. In that game they had 24% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Celtic who had 17 attempts and 6 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Robinson will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They are showing great consistency at The SMISA Stadium in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. With just 1 clean sheet in the last 6 matches at home, Robinson will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They have been performing well at The SMISA Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 10 home games.
Motherwell, Recent FormMotherwell had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Ross County. In that game they recorded 49 of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 12 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
A win for Motherwell is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
Blair Spittal will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against St Mirren in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Motherwell.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 0-1 win for Motherwell.
The Steelmen will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against St Mirren, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 5 meetings between the two. The Motherwell defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Buddies in the league, with Motherwell conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing away from home, Motherwell have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against St Mirren.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Motherwell has taken all 3 points and has not lost to St Mirren in 7 games.
There is only really one injury concern for the St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson ahead of this clash, with Richard Tait (Groin strain) missing out, which gives Robinson a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Motherwell manager Steven Hammell with Joe Efford (Thigh), Nathan McGinley (Unknown) and Bevis Mugabi (Knee) all unavailable for selection, and Jake Carroll (Knee) out for the rest of the season.
