On the 30th of September, in this week 7 match, Motherwell plays host to Celtic in a meeting of these two Premiership teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, Motherwell recorded a 0-1 loss against Rangers. Cyriel Dessers struck first for Rangers in the 24th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Motherwell couldn’t muster any offence and Rangers ran away with the shutout win. Motherwell is looking for direction having 3 win and 2 losses in their last 10 matches, while celtic is fresh off their 3-0 shutout win against Livingston. Reo Hatate scored the first goal for Celtic in the 14th minute on a penalty, then Matt O’Riley added another in the 48th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Livingston couldn’t manage to score, and Celtic took the shutout win. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Celtic should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Celtic won the head to head battle with 2 wins and 1 draw.
Both Kyogo Furuhashi and Matt O’Riley have been the hottest scorers for Celtic in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals. Motherwell hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last 5 matches are Mika Bieveth and Conor Wilkinson, and they each have 1 goal.
