Motherwell, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Motherwell supremo Stuart Kettlewell after sustaining a heavy 3-0 away loss to Hibernian. They came away from that fixture with 52% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Hibernian managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 games overall.
It's been a mixed run of form at Fir Park Stadium for Motherwell recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.
Theo Bair will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Motherwell.
St Johnstone, Recent FormSt Johnstone will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Ross County, which ran out a 1-1 draw. In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 10 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Craig Levein will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 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 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
On an individual basis, Adama Sidibeh will be looking to cause Motherwell some problems having scored 2 goals in St Johnstone's last 6 away games in the league.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
In their previous 4 encounters with Motherwell, The Saints have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
This match has run out a draw on the previous 3 encounters between these sides in the league; however, Motherwell may have a slight edge with them currently enjoying a 4 match unbeaten streak against their opponents.
With only Barry Maguire (Chest) and Jonathan Obika (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Stuart Kettlewell will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With Sven Sprangler (Knee surgery) being out for the rest of the season and Ross Sinclair (Arm) also unavailable in the shorter term, St Johnstone manager Craig Levein will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
