This Scottish Premier League game is set to start at 19.45 GMT, Tuesday 15 February 2011, at Pittodrie Stadium, Aberdeen.
Hosts Aberdeen will be desperate to get to this game, their last Saturday match away to St. Johnstone has been exposed due to a waterproof track. They will be eager to continue their general upward trend over the last few months - if we choose to ignore the skewed effect of their 3 games with Celtic in their last 5 trips.
Motherwell, coming out of the back of a humiliating 6-0 defeat at Ibrox, have only 1 win to show for their last 5 games, เลื่อนแข่งพรีเมียร์ to poor Stranraer in the Scottish Cup. Manager Stuart McCall has a bit of a task in his hands of lifting his players. McCall has of course just taken over in Motherwell from Craig Brown, who in turn has just taken over in Aberdeen after Mark McGhee, who strangely enough ahead of Brown at Motherwell !!
Let’s look at how these two sides have fared in recent times. It should give us an idea of their current form going into Tuesday's game, and a better indication of the result you can expect from it.
Aberdeen's last 5 game record reads [Aberdeen's score first]:
February 6 Home 1-0 vs Dunfermline (Scottish Cup)
February 1 Home 0-3 vs Celtic
January 29 Hampden 1-4 vs Celtic (CIS Cup)
January 26 Away 2-0 vs Inverness Caledonian Thistle
January 22 Away 0-1 vs Celtic
Motherwell's last 5 game record reads [Motherwell's score first]:
February 12 Ude 0-6 vs Rangers
February 5 Away 2-0 vs Stranraer (Scottish Cup)
February 2 Home 0-1 vs Kilmarnock
January 30 Hampden 1-2 vs Rangers (CIS Cup)
January 26 Away 0-1 vs St Johnstone
Note: All of the above matches took place in the Scottish Premier League, unless otherwise stated, in parentheses.
Before the management changes, Motherwell would have been most people's choice to win this match, but since Craig Brown left Motherwell, they have gone backwards at an alarming rate, while the club he joined, Aberdeen, has gone from strength to strength ( apart from those games against Celtic of course). There does not appear to be anything in this for Motherwell (especially as it is an away game) and Aberdeen should continue to build on their impressive overall improvement apart from using their home advantage with good effect.
