Motherwell, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Motherwell players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Hearts. They came away from that fixture with 29% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Hearts managed 22 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 12 of their 13 games this season.
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.
On an individual basis, Theo Bair is showing great form in front of goal having scored 6 goals in Motherwell's last 6 league games
Celtic, Recent FormWith a 1-1 draw in their last match against Kilmarnock, Celtic had to settle for a share of the points. In that game they had 71% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Kilmarnock who had 12 attempts and 6 on target.
Manager Brendan Rodgers will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. In their 13 away games this season they have scored in 12 games and recorded 6 clean sheets.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
Matt O'Riley will be hoping to create problems for Motherwell in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Celtic.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Bhoys 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 18 encounters between the two sides. The Steelmen have struggled to keep Celtic at bay when these two teams have met at Fir Park Stadium, during the last 3 times they have hosted Celtic in the league, they have conceded a total of 8 goals.
Motherwell will be desperate to get some points from this game, having lost the last 7 times they've hosted Celtic in the league and not managed a win against them at Fir Park Stadium in any of their last 16 games.
Kyogo Furuhashi will be feeling confident of netting goals for Celtic in this one against Motherwell with his scoring record of 4 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell ahead of this clash, with Andy Halliday (Calf) missing out, which gives Kettlewell a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers with Cameron Carter-Vickers (Hamstring), Reo Hatate (Calf), Alistair Johnston (Head), James McCarthy (Hamstring) and Greg Taylor (Calf) all unavailable for selection, and Adam Montgomery (Hamstring) out for the rest of the season.
