Goal Statistics

Motherwell's defensive record is very strong, J. Askou's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Premiership outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.4 for Dundee United makes sense in this context.

Motherwell's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Dundee United have conceded in each of their last 8 Premiership outings. A PG of 1.6 for J. Askou's side suggests that run should continue.
