Match preview
Motherwell welcome Aberdeen to Fir Park sitting fifth in the Scottish Premiership with eight points from their opening five league matches. The hosts have demonstrated solid defensive foundations on their own patch, having yet to concede a league goal at home after recording a 3-0 win over Dundee United and a goalless draw in their two home fixtures.
Aberdeen arrive in tenth place with just four points from five fixtures, struggling for cutting edge in the attacking third. The visitors have scored only two league goals in total and have failed to find the net in both of their away league outings, which ended in defeats and five goals conceded.
Recent meetings at Fir Park have heavily favoured Motherwell, who have won the last three Premiership clashes at this venue by identical 2-0 scorelines. With the visitors lacking scoring form and the hosts proving difficult to breach at home, Motherwell enter the contest with the upper hand.
