Motherwell, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Hibernian will not have sat easily with the Motherwell squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. During that encounter they recorded 42% of the possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 5 of their 14 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Steven Hammell will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Having not hit the back of the net in 2 games, the goals seem to have dried up for them recently when playing at home. Hammell will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home 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, Kevin van Veen will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 7 goals in Motherwell's 10 league games this season.
Rangers, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Rangers managed a remarkable 4-0 home win against St Mirren. They achieved 71% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against St Mirren's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Their boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 16 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 7 goals conceded across those matches. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. 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.
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 will be very happy with their very strong start to the season, winning 7 of their 9 league games.
Antonio Čolak is the man of the moment right now and the toast of the fans, having notched up 8 goals in Brentford's last 6 league matches.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 1-3 win for Rangers.
The Gers will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Motherwell, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 18 meetings between the two. We've seen plenty of goals from Rangers when they've visited The Steelmen in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 per game.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams at Fir Park Stadium, Rangers has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Motherwell in 26 games.
James Tavernier has scored on each of Rangers' last 0 visits to Motherwell.
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.
Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ianis Hagi (Knee), Filip Helander (Foot), Tom Lawrence (Knee), Nnamdi Ofoborh (Heart problems), Kemar Roofe (Unknown) and John Souttar (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
