Dundee vs Motherwell: match statistics
Motherwell exhibits significantly better form and league positioning (4th place) compared to Dundee (9th place). The visitors hold an impressive record of 14 wins against just 3 losses this season, while the hosts have suffered 14 defeats. Crucially, Motherwell leads in recent form over the last 5 matches (2.0 PPG vs 1.0 for Dundee) and possesses a vastly superior defense (18 goals conceded all season vs 45 for Dundee). On the road, Motherwell maintains high average possession (59%) and defensive efficiency (0.92 goals conceded per match). The visitors' positive away goal difference (+8) and Dundee's poor home form (38% loss rate) favor a Motherwell victory, although their tendency to draw away games (54%) cannot be ignored.
