Recent respective form guides

Motherwell's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The 'Well have scored 8, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Aberdeen's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Dons's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Motherwell are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 25 points from 23 matches. Aberdeen find themselves in a respectable 3rd position, courtesy of the 39 points they have accumulated from 24 games.
