Hibernian, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Hearts will not have sat easily with the Hibernian squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Hearts' tally of 10 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games.
Hibs will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Motherwell, Recent FormMotherwell will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-1 win in their home outing against Livingston. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Livingston had 10 shots on goal with 1 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Stuart Kettlewell will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 18 of their 20 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Motherwell that came out on top with a 2-1 win.
The last 4 matches between The Steelmen and Hibs show that The Steelmen have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
Motherwell has won the last 2 games they've played against Hibs in the league.
Hibs manager Nick Montgomery has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Chris Cadden (Achilles tendon), Jake Doyle-Hayes (Ankle), Adam Le Fondre (Hamstring) and Harry McKirdy (Heart problems) are all currently out of contention for this game.
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.
