Motherwell vs Aberdeen: match statistics
Motherwell holds a clear advantage in this matchup, especially considering their excellent home form with a 62% win rate and an impressive +17 goal difference at their own stadium. The hosts are unbeaten in their last 5 matches (3 wins, 2 draws) and concede only 0.46 goals on average per game at home, which is supported by a 69% clean sheet rate.
