Kilmarnock, Recent FormThe Kilmarnock players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Hibernian recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. During that encounter they had 34% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 11 of their 20 shots on goal.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 4 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. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at The BBSP Stadium Rugby Park recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having clocked up 5 defeats from their previous 6 matches, recent form is something they will certainly be looking to change.
Motherwell, Recent FormMotherwell will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-0 home win against Hearts. They came away from that fixture with a 33% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Hearts, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Stuart Kettlewell will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Motherwell, Kevin van Veen will be looking to add more goals against Kilmarnock in this match.
