Motherwell – Heart Of Midlothian

Motherwell host Heart of Midlothian in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides, with the Fir Park side sitting 21st on 10 points after three wins, one draw and two defeats, having scored ten and conceded eight. The visitors, languishing at the foot of the table in 95th place with just two points from two goalless draws, will be desperate to pick up their first win and close the gap on the teams above them. Both clubs have struggled to find consistency this season, and the encounter could prove pivotal in the battle to climb out of the relegation zone. A positive result for Motherwell would extend their slim cushion above the drop, while a draw for Hearts would at least keep their unbeaten run intact.
