In this week 23 match, on Sat Jan 28th, Motherwell and St. Mirren will play a match in Greenhill Road in a meeting of these two Premiership teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 3 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. 7th placed St. Mirren is fresh off their 0-4 loss against Celtic. Abada struck first for Celtic in the 15th minute, then Kyogo Furuhashi added another in the 35th minute on a feed from Reo Hatate At the end of 90 a dissapointed St. Mirren couldn’t manage to score, and Celtic took the shutout win. St. Mirren looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while 9th placed Motherwell is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Ross County. McKinstry struck first for Motherwell in the 68th minute, then Jordi Hiwula tied it up for Ross County in the 80th minute on a feed from Jordan White earning Ross County at least a draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 7 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, Motherwell won by a score of 1 to 0. Kevin van Veen struck first for Motherwell in the 42nd minute on a penalty shot, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, St. Mirren was frustrated by Motherwell’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Motherwell ended the match with the shutout victory.
Both Kevin van Veen and Stuart McKinstry have been the hottest scorers for Motherwell in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals each. Curtis Main and Ryan Strain are the top scorers for St. Mirren in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
