This has the potential to be an entertaining match as Motherwell have their supposed home advantage, while Hearts lead them by 0 points in the Premiership standings.

Insights:
  • Motherwell have won significantly less corners at home than away.
  • Hearts have yet to win a game away.

The visiting Hearts played their last game only three days ago, a Europa Conference League match. That game, against Rigas FS, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Hearts.

Motherwell form and stats

Motherwell have played 3 Premiership games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

The home club members saw a 0-0 draw versus Dundee United last time out and are looking for a victory here. van Veen felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Dundee United as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 34th minute. The versatile forward Spittal bettered all the other footballers in that fixture and got a match rating of 7.6 out of 10. Spittal hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 22 successful passes (of 27 total).

Ahead of that result, a home victory hosting Inverness CT in the League Cup.

Motherwell aren't scoring a lot here at Fir Park in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. Motherwell are not conceding a lot of goals here at Fir Park in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.

Hearts form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Premiership for Hearts with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

Two away matches in a row for Hearts, whose boss Neilson could celebrate last time after the Europa Conference League win against Rigas FS. Kingsley, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.33. Kingsley hit one key pass and won 4 of 5 duels.

The fixture earlier was the Europa Conference League-duel against İstanbul Başakşehir, a home loss (0-4).

Hearts are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. Hearts have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Motherwell five wins, one draw and Hearts four victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
