Week 27 brings us a match on Feb 25th where Motherwell and Kilmarnock will play a match in Kilmarnock in a clash of these two evenly matched 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. Kilmarnock is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Hibernian. William Fish struck first for Hibernian in the 16th minute, then Matthew Hoppe added another in the 47th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Kilmarnock couldn’t manage to score, and Hibernian took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while in their last match, Motherwell recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Hearts. Jonathan Obika scored the first goal for Motherwell in the 40th minute, then Blair Spittal added another in the 46th minute In the end, Hearts was frustrated by Motherwell’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Motherwell ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10.
In their last match together, Motherwell and Kilmarnock battled to a 2-2 draw. Kevin van Veen struck first for Motherwell in the 22nd minute, then Callum Slattery added another in the 60th minute.
Kevin van Veen has been the most prolific scorer on Motherwell in his last five matches with two goals. Joe Wright and Christopher Stokes are the top scorers for Kilmarnock in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
