Betting Tips for Motherwell vs Kilmarnock

When we look at the table, their clearly isn't that much of a gap between these two sides. This would suggest that the game between the two could be a tough encounter.

Although, when we look at their most recent form in all competitions, Kilmarnock are clearly on the better run, doubling the amount of goals scored of Motherwell in their last five matches. They have also only lost once in their last five, which was to Celtic.

Therefore, it should be expected that Kilmarnock would be the winners of this fixture, considering the recent form of the two sides as well as recent head to head fixtures.

Final Prediction

I think this game should be straightforward, as we can see Kilmarnock are the far better side recently, with Motherwell facing a struggle in front of goal, something which Kilmarnock aren't. Therefore, I think Kilmarnock should win 2-0.
