Motherwell vs Kilmarnock Predictions

• Kilmarnock have lost four of their last six away games.
• Motherwell have won five of their last nine home matches
• Both teams have found the net in five of the last seven Premiership games between these sides

Hosts may be too strong

Kilmarnock did extremely well to hold out for a 1-0 win against Hearts on Sunday after seeing a man sent off after six minutes.

However, that will have taken plenty out of the players that played the remaining 84 minutes with ten men and they face a quick turnaround to visit fourth-placed Motherwell on Friday night.

The Well have won eight of their 16 league games and beat Dundee United 4-3 on Saturday so will be riding high on confidence for this clash.

In Lennon Miller they have the most exciting young player in Scotland and it is a testament to his ability that he has been captaining the side despite just turning 18.

Visitors could play their part

Killie have lost four of their last six away games including a recent 6-0 hammering at Rangers in which they only had one shot.

Their European campaign earlier this term looks to have stretched their thin squad and they may fall to another away defeat in this clash.

Both teams have scored in five of the last seven meetings between these two teams and neither has looked impenetrable at the back so a 2-1 home win is a solid correct score pick.
