Motherwell host Celtic in the Premiership in the evening, with the home side sitting 9th on 8 points from 7 matches, while the visitors lead the table with 18 points from 7 matches. The two sides' situations are clearly different, but both teams' most recent match ended in defeat. The hosts just lost 1-2 in the league, while the visitors also just lost 0-1 in the league. Motherwell have lost 3 in a row, with defensive problems visible in the match they were thrashed 0-4, but at home they still dominate possession more than their opponents (58.8% per match over their last 10) and keep creating chances from wide areas. As for Celtic, although they have also lost 3 in a row, their season statistics are still superior (14 scored, 4 conceded in 7 matches) and they are the side who will naturally push forward against the hosts as a team wanting to get back to winning ways. This game is likely to take the shape of Celtic dominating possession and pushing high, while Motherwell drop into a defensive block and wait for counter-attacking moments from wide areas. If the hosts score first or hold the score into the closing stages, the game will sink deeper and put more pressure on the visitors, but if Celtic take the lead early, the hosts will have to open up, which risks them being hit again.
