Motherwell, Recent FormThe Motherwell squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against St Mirren, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 60% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to St Mirren who had 9 attempts and 2 on target.
Having scored 6 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. Having shipped goals in 8 out of their 10 matches this season, supremo Steven Hammell will not be pleased with his team's struggles to keep a clean sheet at home.
A win for Motherwell is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.
St Johnstone, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Rangers will have left the St Johnstone squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with a 31% share of the possession and clocked up 4 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Rangers, who managed 20 attempts on goal, 11 of which were on target.
With 5 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 16 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away league games. They, for whatever reason, are unable to keep a clean sheet away from home, having not done so for the past 16 games.
Serious concerns will be mounting for The Saints, having lost their last 6 league games in a row.
Nicky Clark has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Motherwell.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
Motherwell will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against The Saints having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 5 meetings.
In the last 3 league matches against St Johnstone, Motherwell have failed to record a victory.
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.
With only Murray Davidson (Ankle) and Chris Kane (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Callum Davidson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
