Match Preview

On February 28th, 2026, at Fir Park, Motherwell will face Dundee United in a Scottish Premiership encounter.

Motherwell, currently sitting 4th in the league standings with 50 points, will take on 7th-placed Dundee United, who have accumulated 29 points so far.

Motherwell has displayed strong home form this season, securing 9 wins in 14 matches at Fir Park.

In contrast, Dundee United has struggled on the road, losing 3 of their last 6 away matches in the Premiership.

When looking at their head-to-head stats, Motherwell has emerged victorious in 67 percent of their last 6 Premiership meetings against Dundee United.

The upcoming match between Motherwell and Dundee United is expected to see goal action, with our algorithm predicting Over 2.5 goals in this encounter.

Motherwell have already secured their spot in the top six of the Scottish Premiership table, with Dundee United hoping to join them in the top half of the league standings for the final five fixtures.

Motherwell's excellent recent record against St Mirren continued, as the Well have only lost one of their last 12 league meetings with the Buddies in Paisley (W6 D5), as the Steelmen smashed Saints by five goals without reply last Saturday night. With top six already secured, there are pundits out there that believe Motherwell could have an outside chance of Scottish Premiership glory.

Dundee United played out yet another draw, with their 12 so far in 2025/26 the most of any Scottish Premiership team, against Aberdeen in a goalless game on Tuesday night at Tannadice. Only Kilmarnock (55) and Livingston (58) - the bottom two teams in the entire division - have conceded more league goals than the Tangerines (43) in the current Scottish Premiership campaign.

Dundee United have yet to score a league goal against Motherwell this season, but the Steelmen's recent run should give them great encouragement against the Terrors this weekend.
