Motherwell – Aberdeen

Motherwell host Aberdeen in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides. The Fir Park outfit sit 21st with ten points from six games – three wins, a draw and two defeats, and a modest +2 goal difference (10‑8) – and will be desperate to claw back into safety. Aberdeen, perched in 10th place, have collected four points (one win, one draw, three losses) and sit on a –5 goal margin (2‑7), looking to snap their early-season slump. Historically the two have met frequently, but recent form heavily favours Motherwell’s home advantage, while Aberdeen will need a turn of fortune to climb the table.
