Motherwell, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against St Mirren will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Motherwell. In that game they had 43% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to St Mirren who had 10 attempts and 3 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Stuart Kettlewell will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Playing at home, they've conceded a goal in each of their last 10 games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at Fir Park Stadium, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 7 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
On an individual basis, Mika Biereth will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Fir Park Stadium having scored 5 goals in Motherwell's last 6 home games in the league.
Rangers, Recent FormRangers have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-0 home win against St Johnstone in their previous league match. They came away from that fixture with a 71% share of the possession and clocked up 28 attempts on goal with 8 on target, in comparison to St Johnstone, who managed 2 attempts on goal, 0 of which were on target.
Manager Philippe Clement will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 11 goals. They've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and they've scored in 15 of their 17 games overall this season.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 10 games.
Away from home in the league, James Tavernier has given the Rangers travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 5 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
The 1-0 victory which Rangers recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
The Gers will be confident of finding the net in this one against Motherwell, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 22 encounters between the two sides. When Rangers visit The Steelmen in the league, goals tend to happen, with 9 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 3 goals per match.
Rangers will be looking to continue their winning streak against Motherwell, having won each of the last 5 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 56 meetings.
Rangers player James Tavernier will be looking to cause Motherwell some problems having scored 2 goals in the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Fir Park Stadium.
With only Calum Butcher (Unknown) and Pape Souaré (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Stuart Kettlewell will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Philippe Clement has a number of injury concerns in his Rangers squad to contend with: Steven Davis (Cruciate ligament), Ryan Jack (Unknown), Tom Lawrence (Muscle), Danilo Pereira da Silva (Knee) and Nicolas Raskin (Ankle)
