Match Facts
Four of the last six Scottish Premiership meetings between St. Johnstone and Motherwell at McDiarmid Park have ended in a score draw (1-1 x3 and 2-2), with each side also winning one match during this period.
Motherwell have only won one of their last seven top-flight matches against St. Johnstone (D3 L3), although they are unbeaten in their last three against the Saints (W1 D2).
St. Johnstone are unbeaten in each of their last three home league matches (W2 D1), and could go unbeaten in four for the second time this season. If they do so, it’ll be the first time that they have put together two separate 4+ match unbeaten home runs in the same league campaign since 2019-20.
Of the current Scottish Premiership clubs, only St. Johnstone (11) and Livingston (9) are on a longer ongoing winless run away from home in the division than Motherwell (8 – D4 L4), with the Steelmen drawing four of their last five on the road.
St. Johnstone’s Dan Phillips has won more tackles (34) than any other player in the Scottish Premiership this season, while he is only one of two players in the division this season to have won 25+ tackles (34), made 25+ interceptions (25), won 50+ duels (131) and won 25+ aerial duels (26), along with Hibernian’s Lewis Miller.
