Hibernian, Recent FormLast time out, Hibernian went away feeling content after the match with a 2-0 away win against Burnley. In that game they had 60% possession and managed 24 attempts on goal, with 9 on target, compared to Ross County who had 9 attempts and 2 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Lee Johnson will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Johnson of late, his defence having only notched up 2 clean sheets from their last 6 home games.
They have been performing well at Easter Road Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 10 home games.
Goalscorer Martin Boyle will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Hibernian.
Motherwell, Recent FormLast time out, Motherwell recorded an impressive 5-0 away win against Ross County. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Ross County, who had 9 shots on goal with 1 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Steven Hammell will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away league games.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Kevin van Veen has scored 6 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Hibernian.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
The Hibees have struggled for goals when Motherwell comes to visit Easter Road Stadium, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing at home, Hibs have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Motherwell. Playing away from home, Motherwell have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Hibs.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams has ended with a share of the spoils but Motherwell will be slighlty more concerned that they have not won this fixture in 3 games.
Hibs manager Lee Johnson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Rocky Bushiri (Ankle), Aiden McGeady (Ligament), Elias Melkersen (Concussion), Demetri Mitchell (Hamstring) and Kevin Nisbet (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Jake Carroll (Knee) being out for the rest of the season and Nathan McGinley (Unknown) also unavailable in the shorter term, Motherwell manager Steven Hammell will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
