Motherwell will attempt to get back to winning ways in the Scottish Premiership this weekend when they take on Hibernian at Fir Park. The hosts come into this one following a draw against Livingston, while the visitors make the trip with a point to prove off the back of an Edinburgh Derby defeat against Hearts.
Motherwell have endured a frustrating 2022-23 campaign so far and sit 10th in the Scottish Premiership heading into their encounter with Hibernian on Sunday. Steven Hammell has looked to change the fortunes of his side in recent months, though the Steelmen have found victories hard to come by under his tenure and have won just two of their last 12 encounters.
Nevertheless, Motherwell did pick up a valuable 1-1 draw away to Livingston in their last match, as Kevin van Veen cancelled out a Morgan Boyes opener to give his team a share of the spoils. Picking up points will be crucial for Motherwell to maintain their league status, though they severely need to boost their home form. In their eight league matches at Fir Park, they have accumulated just five points this season.
