Motherwell, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by Aberdeen will have left the Motherwell squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Aberdeen, who had 23 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games overall.
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 4 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Theo Bair 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 Motherwell.
Livingston, Recent FormLivingston will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their home fixture against Ross County. They came away from that fixture with a 45% share of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Ross County, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 11 goals and some valuable points in the process. They've conceded a goal in each of their last 26 away games, and overall this season they have failed to score in 17 of their 34 games played.
An away win for Livingston is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 15 games.
Bruce Anderson has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Motherwell.
