Command Analysis
Kilmarnock
ScotlandCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Kilmarnock were considered contenders for a top six finish and, overall, the selection of players allowed them to set the goal of fighting for a ticket to the European Cups. However, so far, Derek Mackines' team has been frankly failing the season and currently occupies only 10th place in the table with 24 points, three points behind sixth-placed St. Mirren. In the last round, the Killies unexpectedly lost 0:1 at home to Ross County, thus suffering their 10th defeat of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Findlay is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Kilmarnock have lost two of their last three matches
- Kilmarnock are unbeaten in their last four matches against Motherwell - one win and three draws
Probable line-up: McCrory - Ndaba, Mayo, Wright - Lyons, Murray, Donnelly, Watson, Armstrong - Cameron, Anderson.
Motherwell
ScotlandCurrent form
Before the start of the championship, Motherwell probably expected to fight for a place in the top six, but in terms of player selection they were inferior to many competitors and were not an obvious contender for a place in the top six. However, for now, Stuart Kettlewell's team looks more than solid and occupies fifth place in the table with 30 points, four points ahead of seventh-placed Hibernian, but with a game in hand. Having beaten Aberdeen 2-0 in the last round, Motherwell broke a series of four matches without a win in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Callahan, Robinson and Miller are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Motherwell have won just one of their last five matches.
- Motherwell have lost four of their last five away games
Probable line-up: Oxborough - Casey, Gordon, Balmer - Wilson, Halliday, Zdravkovskiy, Kaleta - Maswankhize, Ebie, Watt.

2.47Tip and bets
Kilmarnock still have the opportunity to improve and join the fight for a place in the top six, in home games the Killies look more than worthy, regularly and a lot of goals, probably today they will be as aggressive as possible in front in an attempt to snatch a victory. Motherwell are not particularly reliable in defense, but at the same time they will probably also take risks and strive to snatch points, the steelworkers are distinguished by high implementation and are capable of responding.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.85
Bet on the outcome
Despite their position in the table, Kilmarnock have been playing their home games with more than dignity – in their last four meetings at Rugby Park, the Killies have won three victories. Today, the hosts will also clearly be in a very determined mood, the situation in the championship obliges them to play only for victory – Motherwell are much higher in the table, but at the same time, they have not looked very confident in their last matches, and in the confrontation with Kilmarnock, the steelworkers have not won in their last four meetings.
The bet is Kilmarnock to win. This bet is offered at 2.05
Bet on corners
Kilmarnock are favourites and will likely spend most of the match attacking – the home side should win confidently on corners.
