Match Preview

Two of last weekend's surprise results in the Scottish Premiership involved Motherwell and Dundee United, before the two teams meet in midweek at Fir Park on Wednesday night.

Motherwell missed out on the chance to win three successive league meetings with St Mirren for the first time since April 2015, after blowing a two goal lead to go 3-2 down before recovering a point with a late leveller. The Well are unbeaten in nine Scottish Premiership games against the Buddies (D5 L4) since a sole goal defeat in September 2023, and are one of three teams yet to taste defeat in 2026/27 so far.

Dundee United were without a win in seven away Scottish Premiership games (D3 L4), the previously longest ongoing run of any team in the division before their 4-0 thumping of Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Saturday afternoon. Having alternated between losing (5) and drawing (4) their past 9 visits to Ayrshire since a 4-2 victory in May 2016, United will be full of confidence and belief having ended a decade's wait for a win away to Killie.

Despite Dundee United rediscovering their goalscoring touch last time out, Motherwell were unbeaten in three league meetings against the Terrors last season so will fancy continuing their strong unbeaten recent run against the Tangerines.
