Motherwell Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Calum Ward; Emmanuel Longelo, Stephen Welsh, Paul McGinn, Johnny Koutroumbis; Lukas Fadinger, Elliot Watt; Ibrahim Said, Elijah Just, Tawanda Maswanhise; Apostolos Stamatelopoulos

Quite the injury crisis for Motherwell at the moment, the list of unavailable players is currently up to seven: Aston Oxborough, Eseosa Sule, Filip Stuparevic, Jordan McGhee, Sam Nicholson, Stephen O'Donnell and Zach Robinson will all sit this game out, causing quite the headache for Jens Berthel Askou.

Motherwell vs Hibernian Current League Standings

The Premiership table is looking pretty good for both clubs at the moment, as they have both assumed a space in the top six so far. The hosts have only lost twice at this stage, taking them into sixth and four points ahead of Dundee United behind them. They've strung together some good results lately and are in a healthy position to boot, so will look to maintain their good form and continue climbing.

Hibernian are up in third, with their win last time out keeping them a point ahead of Rangers, though they have played one more game than them. Similar to their opposition, they have also only lost twice, and they are only separated by three points. It's been a positive start for Hibernian who have put themselves in a good position early on in the campaign, but now is no time to get complacent.

Motherwell and Hibernian Recent Matches Analysis

Motherwell Last 5 Matches:

• Motherwell 3-1 Kilmarnock (A) - Premiership
• Motherwell 1-1 Aberdeen (A) - Premiership
• Motherwell 1-4 St. Mirren (H) - League Cup
• Motherwell 2-0 Dundee United (H) - Premiership
• Motherwell 2-1 Livingston (A) - Premiership

Motherwell have been in good form lately, despite their disappointing 4-1 defeat at home to St. Mirren in the League Cup. Their results in the Premiership have remained promising, but the majority of the teams they have played lately have been at the lower end of the table, so Hibernian will certainly offer a test. Scoring nine times in their last five is a good record to have in front of goal, and a record they'll be looking to keep up in this game.

Hibernian Last 5 Matches:

• Hibernian 2-0 Dundee FC (H) - Premiership
• Hibernian 3-0 St. Mirren (A) - Premiership
• Hibernian 2-2 Livingston (A) - Premiership
• Hibernian 0-1 Rangers (H) - Premiership
• Hibernian 2-1 Aberdeen (A) - Premiership

A similar story for Hibernian, who have been in promising form without taking on many teams around them in the league. The loss to Rangers was harmful for their push towards the top of the table, especially considering their form at the start of the season under Russell Martin, but they've still taken a satisfying amount of points in their last five outings.

Best Motherwell vs Hibernian Betting Tips

Football Park’s Best Bet: BTTS @ 1.57 on Kwiff OR 1.55 odds on BoyleSports - With so many goals flying in for and against both teams, BTTS at these odds look like a good value bet. Both attacks are proving difficult to deal with at the moment, so we expect to see a few goals in this one, with both sides to get on the scoresheet.

Key Players to Watch: Motherwell vs Hibernian

Tawanda Maswanhise (Motherwell): Fresh off the back of a brace against Kilmarnock, the Zimbabwe international will be in high confidence going into this clash. The winger has now taken his goal tally this season up to seven, and will be a very tricky customer for Hibernian to contend with.

Jamie McGrath (Hibernian): The Irish midfielder has proved massively important since joining on a free transfer over the summer, grabbing four goals and two assists so far this season. His contributions go far beyond the numbers, as he is also fond of helping out on the defensive front when he isn't needed on the attack.
