Motherwell :
After a season in which he made it to the qualifying rounds of the Europa League, it was hoped that Motherwell could stay close to that fight in the Premiership, something the team led by manager Steve Robinson has not been able to match. . At the start of round 21 of the regular round, Motherwell ranks ninth in the standings and adds the same 17 points to Kilmarnock and St. Johnstone. Last Saturday, Motherwell was close to returning to the winning path, but ended up allowing to close the tie towards the end and shared the points in dispute with Dundee United (1-1). This was the second straight draw for Robinson’s team, which drew 0-0 at Aberdeen at home.
Kilmarnock :
Kilmarnock have not been having a great campaign and come into this match in terrible form, leaving the team led by manager Alex Dyer to rank eighth in the overall Premiership leaderboard with 17 points, the same of the record of Motherwell and St. Johnstone, seven of the top-6 of the classification, first occupied by Livingston. Last Saturday, Kilmarnock added the fifth loss of the last five games, compounding a moment that is already very negative. Despite having scored first (at 48 ‘, after a penalty converted by Burke), Kilmarnock allowed Livingston to return, with goals conceded in 51’ and already in the discount period (90 + 2 ‘).
