Goal Statistics

Motherwell's fans will be hoping for goals on Friday evening, not least because Kilmarnock have conceded in each of their last 8 Premiership outings. A PG of 1.7 for S. Kettlewell's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Kilmarnock of late. It has been 5 Premiership matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.3 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Friday evening against Motherwell.
