Motherwell vs Kilmarnock – On Friday night at Fir Park, two struggling teams—Motherwell and Kilmarnock—will square off in Gameweek No. 18.
Going into this match, the two teams are tied in the bottom half of the standings with just two points separating them.
Neither team has been very successful lately, particularly Kilmarnock, which has lost four of its previous five league games.
The most recent was dealt by Hearts six days ago. Tynecastle Park witnessed a one-way street as Killie lost 3-1. Two goals in the first half from Lawrence Shankland and Josh Ginnelly helped Hearts win the match.
As no other team has scored fewer than their 13 goals in the first 17 games of the season, Kilmarnock still has the lowest attacking record in the league.
The first encounter between them and Motherwell since the World Cup break is ready to begin. The previous weekend saw them do nothing.
The Well did take on English Premier League superpower Tottenham Hotspur in a friendly match on December 9th, losing 4-0.
When it comes to their league performance, Motherwell has been terrible at Fir Park thus far this season, earning only four points in seven games there (a 5-11 goal difference).
In addition, Kilmarnock only managed to earn one point in their first nine away league games this season, posting a goal differential of 2-17.
Motherwell vs Kilmarnock – Betting Analysis
In the teams’ last four head-to-head encounters, they each had two victories.
As of the 96th matchup versus Killie, Motherwell has a 2-win overall advantage in the head-to-head series.
In four of the previous six head-to-head matches between these rivals, fewer than three goals were scored. Although Motherwell is the 1.95 favorite to win, we find it difficult to see the value given that they have only won one of their seven home league games this season.
