The overall Premiership stats playing at home this season for Motherwell are 2-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).

There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Ross County as Ross's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. Midfield player Paton got a match rating of 7.32 in that game, the max score being 10. Paton dribled past the opponent 4 of 4 times.

Aberdeen form and stats
The visitors are W1-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Premiership.
Mackenzie was the last player to score for the away team. Aberdeen haven't scored a league goal in the last 185 minutes.
Aberdeen play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Kilmarnock (placed 4th). That defeat was their first after three consecutive league rounds winning points. Aberdeen goalkeeper Roos was happy for a splendid day's work against Kilmarnock, but even with achieving six saves the loss could not be avoided.
The fixture before that was the Europa Conference League-battle against PAOK, a home defeat (2-3). As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 4 similar matches played by Aberdeen in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for Aberdeen, 0 draws and 4 defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Aberdeen manager Robson as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Hibernian.
7 goals have been conceded by Aberdeen in these games.
