3rd position in the Premiership table for Motherwell so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 8th-placed Kilmarnock visits Fir Park.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Kilmarnock have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 16-11-14 (win-draw-loss) from 41 matches.
