Motherwell, Recent FormA 1-1 draw against Livingston will be viewed as a positive outcome for Motherwell and a valuable point into the bargain. During that encounter they had 54% possession and had 16 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 11 shots on goal.
They have found the net 7 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 12 goals in that same period. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, Steven Hammell will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
A home win for Motherwell is just a distant memory, having not won at Fir Park Stadium in 6 games.
Hibernian, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 3-0 away defeat by Hearts, Hibernian manager Lee Johnson will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. They came away from that fixture with a 49% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Hearts, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 6 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 13 goals in the same period. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
Hibernian will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 6 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 6 games.
On an individual basis, Mykola Kukharevych will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Hibernian's last 6 league games.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-0 win for Hibernian.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, Motherwell have been unable to break through The Hibees' defence and find the back of the net. Playing away from home, Hibs have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Motherwell. Hibs have a good attacking record away to The Steelmen in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
In the league, Hibs have been unbeaten in the last 4 times they have visited Motherwell at Fir Park Stadium.
Martin Boyle has scored on each of Hibs' last 0 visits to Motherwell.
