Kilmarnock v Motherwell

Kilmarnock vs Motherwell Preview

Kilmarnock will be desperate to make amends for their disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Ross County in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday when the hosts have another chance to redeem themselves at The BBSP Stadium Rugby on Wednesday night when they play host to Motherwell.

Motherwell halted a four-match winless run in the Scottish Premiership on the weekend when they registered a solid 2-0 home win against Aberdeen which in turn helped lift the visitors up into fifth place in the Premiership table ahead of this midweek clash at The BBSP Stadium Rugby.

That's now two losses in their last three games for Wednesday night's hosts, Kilmarnock, as the home side had previously slipped to a 1-0 loss away from home against an improving Hibernian side, but the wider picture shows Kilmarnock have lost just twice in their last seven games overall.

Three wins within these last seven games have seen Kilmarnock pick up important victories against Hearts, Aberdeen and St Mirren in 1-0, 4-0 and 2-0 wins respectively and these recent results should stand Derek McInnes' side in good stead for this upcoming home clash.

Kilmarnock have lost just twice in their last nine home games.

Motherwell returned to winning ways on the weekend when they recorded a 2-0 home win against fourth placed Aberdeen which in turn has given The ‘Well a decent chance of securing a possible top six finish come the end of the 1st phase of this domestic top flight season.

Motherwell had previously picked up points in draws with Kilmarnock and Rangers along with slipping to losses at the hands of Celtic and Hearts respectively, so the footballing jury may be out as to whether Motherwell can gain a positive result here at The BBSP Stadium Rugby on Wednesday night.

The visitors had also previously collected wins against St Mirren and Dundee United but with just three wins registered from their last 10 matches overall though in the Scottish top flight, Motherwell may have their work cut out here.

Five losses within these last 10 games also suggest this upcoming encounter against Kilmarnock on Wednesday night could prove to be another tough challenge for Stuart Kettlewell's side especially as his side have slipped to defeats at the hands of Ross County, Hibernian, Dundee, Celtic and Hearts.

It is also interesting to note that four out of Motherwell's last five defeats were dealt out to the visitors on their travels where the visitors have been handed six defeats within their last 10 away games in the Scottish Premiership.

Kilmarnock v Motherwell Verdict

Kilmarnock's slightly better form and results at home should see the hosts over the line here on Wednesday night against a poor-travelling Motherwell outfit.
