Motherwell
- Motherwell have been in strong form over the last few weeks, winning three and drawing two of their last five matches in all competitions.
- Jens Berthel Askou has instilled a possession-first, high-pressing mentality into Motherwell since his appointment in July 2025, with The Well dominating games through their use of the ball and ability to switch play through the thirds with their rotation.
- Motherwell have conceded just five goals at home in the Premiership 2025/2026, an average of 0.42 per game.
Aberdeen FC
- Peter Leven’s men have failed to win on either of their last two trips to Motherwell, while they have also failed to take the three points in three of their last five matches in all competitions (W2, D2, L1).
- The Dons will be boosted by the return to form of Topi Keskinen, who has notched two goals in Aberdeen’s last five games and should provide a much-needed spark at the top of the pitch.
- Jesper Karlsson leads the way for Leven’s side with five goals in 18 Premiership 2025/2026 appearances, and the Dons have managed just four wins in 12 away games (W4, D0, L8) in the Premiership 2025/2026, averaging just 0.58 goals per game scored and 1.50 per game conceded.
Key Players
- Tawanda Maswanhise has been on fire for Motherwell, with the Zimbabwean forward scoring 13 goals in 21 Premiership 2025/2026 appearances, while four of The Well’s last seven goals have been scored by the forward.
- I. Said is also a big threat to Aberdeen’s defence on Sunday, as the midfielder often drops deep to create and dictate the game.
- Topi Keskinen has notched two goals in Aberdeen’s last five games and should provide a much-needed spark at the top of the pitch.
- Jesper Karlsson leads the way for Aberdeen with five goals in 18 Premiership 2025/2026 appearances.
Head-to-Head
- Both sides have seen two recent draws end 0-0.
- Motherwell have won and drawn one of their last two meetings with Aberdeen FC, and beat The Dons 0-1 away from home in the League Cup 2025 in their only meeting this year.
Betting Insights
- The hosts go into Sunday’s game as heavy favorites at 1.73, with Aberdeen FC outsiders at 4.7.
- The Under 2.5 goals option at 1.83 looks the obvious choice for the betting savvy.
Prediction
Motherwell have conceded just 5 goals in 12 home Premiership matches this term and should do enough to keep Aberdeen FC at bay in this one.
