Motherwell, Recent FormLosing 2-0 home to Rangers won't leave the Motherwell squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against Rangers' tally of 14 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they've conceded a goal in each of their the last 11 games at Fir Park Stadium.
The misery continues for Motherwell, having not won any of their last 15 games.
Livingston, Recent FormA point gained from their 0-0 draw against St Johnstone in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Livingston. In that game they had 50% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to St Johnstone who had 4 attempts and 2 on target.
Having scored just 1 goal in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager David Martindale where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 6 in the same period. They have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've conceded at least one goal in their 19 most recent away games.
Livingston 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 8 games.
Sean Kelly will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Motherwell in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Livingston.
Motherwell suffered the disappointment of a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Livingston the last time they met in the league.
The Livi defence has struggled at Fir Park Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 16 visits. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Fir Park Stadium, Livi have been unable to break through the Motherwell defence and find the back of the net.
Motherwell has had a good run of league results at home to Livingston, winning their last 4 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 14.
With only Calum Butcher (Unknown) and Pape Souaré (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Stuart Kettlewell will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Jamie Brandon (Cruciate ligament) and Daniel Mackay (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, David Martindale will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
