Match Facts
Motherwell have only enjoyed two wins in their last 10 league meetings with St. Johnstone (D4 L4), including just one in their last six (D2 L3).
St. Johnstone won both of their league visits to Motherwell last season, while they last won three in a row away to the Steelmen in the Scottish Premiership in March 2017.
Motherwell remain winless in 12 league games (D4 L8), their longest such run since January 2021 (also 12).
St. Johnstone are without a win in their last seven away league games (D3 L4), and are yet to score at all on the road in the league this season in six games. It’s the longest a team has gone without an away goal from the start of a Scottish top-flight season since Livingston in 2005-06 (also no goals in first six away).
Motherwell have gained more points from losing positions in the Scottish Premiership this season than any side (7), while no club has dropped more from winning positions in the division this term than St. Johnstone (7, level with Kilmarnock).
