Match Facts
After losing 2-0 in May last season, St. Johnstone could suffer consecutive league defeats to Motherwell for the first time since November 2019.
Motherwell are looking to pick up back-to-back away league wins at St. Johnstone for the first time since November 2012 under Stuart McCall.
St. Johnstone’s 2-1 win over Kilmarnock last time out ended their nine-match winless run in the Scottish Premiership (D4 L5). The Saints last won back-to-back league games in November 2022 (run of three).
Motherwell have won just one of their last seven away league games played in midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday), a 5-0 win at Ross County in October 2022 (D3 L3).
Although he has made just nine league appearances for the club in 2023, Nicky Clark (2 goals, 2 assists) is one of just two players to register 2+ goals and 2+ assists in the Scottish Premiership for St. Johnstone this calendar year, along with Stevie May (5 goals, 2 assists). With his brace against Kilmarnock last time out, aged 32 years and 151 days, Clark was the Saints’ oldest brace scorer in the competition since Craig Conway against Hamilton in October 2020 (35y 168d).
