Motherwell, Recent FormMotherwell will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-1 away win against Hibernian. In that game they had 42% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Hibernian who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Stuart Kettlewell will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Fir Park Stadium, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, Kettlewell will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way. They've shown terrible form at Fir Park Stadium this season, losing 8 of their 14 home league games.
Kevin van Veen will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 6 goals in the last 6 league games for Motherwell.
Livingston, Recent FormLivingston manager David Martindale will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 3-0 away defeat by St Mirren. Their share of possession in that meeting was 59%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. St Mirren had 15 shots on goal with 7 on target.
Martindale will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 4 goals they managed at the other end. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
On an individual basis, Bruce Anderson will be looking to cause Motherwell some problems having scored 2 goals in Livingston's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Livi defence has struggled at Fir Park Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 15 visits.
Livingston have lost the last 3 times they've have visited Motherwell in the league and have failed to win any of their last 13 encounters at Fir Park Stadium.
Kevin van Veen has scored in each of Motherwell's last 2 league games against Livingston.
Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jake Carroll (Knee), Joe Efford (Thigh) and Nathan McGinley (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Jamie Brandon (Cruciate ligament) and Tom Parkes (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, David Martindale will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
