History of the Motherwell v Kilmarnock fixture

Kilmarnock face a trip to Motherwell at Fir Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Killie will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2005, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Motherwell's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The 'Well have scored 6, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Kilmarnock's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. While the Killie have hit 8 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Motherwell find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 8 games have yielded only 4 points. Kilmarnock's 12 points from 8 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
