Aberdeen vs. Motherwell Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Aberdeen and Motherwell, taking place on Saturday, 14 September 2024, at Pittodrie Stadium in Aberdeen.
Aberdeen, Recent Form
Aberdeen head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 1-0 away win against Ross County in their last league encounter. In that game they had 66% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Ross County who had 7 attempts and 3 on target.
Jimmy Thelin will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 15 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded5 goals during those same matches. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 7 games.
Pape Guèye will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Aberdeen.
Motherwell, Recent Form
Motherwell will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their away outing against St Johnstone. In that game they recorded 39 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 13 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Stuart Kettlewell 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 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
On an individual basis, Ebiye Moses will be looking to cause Aberdeen some problems having scored 2 goals in Motherwell's last 6 away games in the league.
Aberdeen vs. Motherwell Head to head
Aberdeen recorded a 1-0 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Aberdeen will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against The Steelmen having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 8 meetings. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, The Steelmen have been unable to break through Aberdeen's defence and find the back of the net.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Aberdeen has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Motherwell in 6 games.
