General match analysis
Both teams head into this fixture with an identically poor record over their last five matches: 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats, averaging 0.8 points per game. Motherwell have been slightly more effective away from home, scoring an average of 1.67 goals compared with Dundee’s 1.33 at home, while also averaging 5 shots on target to their opponents’ 4. However, the hosts look more reliable defensively, conceding 1.00 goal per match at home, compared with Motherwell’s 1.67 away, and have yet to keep a clean sheet. The chance-quality data points towards an open game: Dundee allow opponents an xG of 1.78, while Motherwell allow as much as 2.30, so both sides should create scoring opportunities. With identical home-away records of 33% wins, a draw appears to be the marginally most likely outcome.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The scenario of both teams scoring is supported by their current form: both Dundee and Motherwell recorded BTTS in 60% of their last 5 matches. Dundee conceded an average of 1.6 goals per game during this period, while Motherwell conceded as many as 2.2, with both teams allowing very high average xG figures: 2.27 and 2.26. At home, the hosts create an average of 1.83 xG and register 18 shots per game, while Motherwell scores an average of 1.67 goals and records 5 shots on target. Motherwell have failed to keep a clean sheet in any league match, which clearly increases Dundee’s chances of scoring. The main risk to the pick is Dundee’s 100% clean-sheet rate in the available home data, but the hosts’ weaker recent defensive record and the visitors’ attacking numbers outweigh this concern in favor of BTTS - Yes.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Dundee create chances worth an average of 1.83 xG at home and register 18 shots per match, while Motherwell allow opponents as much as 2.30 xG away from home. The visitors are also active offensively, averaging 1.67 goals and 5 shots on target, which supports a projection of 1.45 goals for their side. In Dundee’s last five matches, they conceded an average of 1.6 goals, while Motherwell conceded as many as 2.2, with almost identical xG against both teams: 2.27 and 2.26. The 2.5 line was covered in 60% of Dundee’s and 80% of Motherwell’s last matches, giving the three-goal scenario a strong statistical foundation. However, the strongest selection remains Over 1.5 goals, as the combination of the quality of chances created and both teams’ poor recent defensive form significantly reduces the risk of a match finishing with no more than one goal.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Dundee has a clear home profile: they average 1.83 xG while allowing opponents just 0.77 xG, whereas Motherwell allow their opponents as much as 2.30 xG. The hosts have yet to concede a goal in their home matches, while Motherwell concede an average of 1.67 goals away from home and have not kept a clean sheet on any occasion. At half-time, Dundee were leading in 50% of their matches and were never behind, whereas Motherwell went into the break trailing in 67% of their away games, conceding an average of 1.33 goals before half-time.
