Motherwell
- Motherwell and Saint Mirren FC are having contrasting Premiership seasons as the Well are 4th in the table with 30 points from 19 games and the Buddies are 9th with 18 from 17.
- Jens Berthel Askou, appointed in July 2025, has introduced a progressive, possession-based style of play that has been dynamic and attractive to watch.
- The Steelmen have plenty of young, attacking talent and their full-backs are encouraged to overlap and support the attack.
- The Well edged out Dundee FC 1-0 at home last weekend before losing by the same margin away to Rangers on the following Saturday.
- Tawanda Maswanhise has been their danger man this season with eight goals in 17 Premiership appearances.
Saint Mirren FC
- Saint Mirren FC are unbeaten in their last 5, with 3 wins and 2 draws.
- Stephen Robinson, who took over at the Buddies in February 2022, has created a squad that is disciplined and well-organised in their approach.
- They play a more pragmatic, compact game and can catch teams out on the break.
- Their only road game during that run saw them secure a point, and Jonah Ayunga has hit a rich run in front of goal with three in his last five for the club.
- Mikael Mandron has been their main goal threat all season with three strikes in 17 Premiership outings, but Declan John is a big goal threat with his assists, having provided three in his last five appearances.
Head-to-Head
- Saint Mirren have shipped 14 goals in seven away games this season, which is more than Motherwell have let in at Fir Park in nine attempts.
- But they do have a recent winning record in this matchup, which they won 4-1 away in the League Cup eight weeks ago.
- The last three meetings have produced a win and two draws for the Saints and Motherwell have not beaten them.
