Motherwell, Recent FormMotherwell had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against St Johnstone. During that encounter they had 58% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 7 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Stuart Kettlewell will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they've conceded a goal in each of their the last 12 games at Fir Park Stadium.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Goalscorer Theo Bair will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Motherwell.
Kilmarnock, Recent FormKilmarnock were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 2-2 draw against Hibernian. In that game they had 37% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Hibernian who had 15 attempts and 5 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games on the road.
Kilmarnock will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Greg Stewart will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Kilmarnock.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Kilmarnock that came out on top with a 1-0 win.
Killie have some indifferent league form when it comes to away matches against Motherwell; they have shipped at least 1 goal in their last 4 games away to them.
Playing at home, Motherwell have won the last 2 and are unbeaten in the last 4 times they have faced Kilmarnock in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell ahead of this clash, with Jonathan Obika (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Kettlewell a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes ahead of this clash, with Kyle Magennis (Hamstring) missing out, which gives McInnes a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
