In a weekend match in week 5, on Sat Aug 27th, Kilmarnock will host Motherwell at Rugby Park in a clash of the Premiership. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, Kilmarnock recorded a 0-1 loss against Ross County. Owura Edwards scored the first goal for Ross County in the 86th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Kilmarnock couldn’t muster any offence and Ross County ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 7 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 3rd placed Motherwell, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Livingston. Kevin van Veen struck first for Motherwell in the 68th minute on a penalty shot, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Livingston was frustrated by Motherwell’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Motherwell ended the match with the shutout victory. Motherwell is looking for direction having 3 win and 1 losses in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Kevin van Veen has been the most prolific scorer on Motherwell in the last 5 matches with three goals. Kyle Lafferty and Ash Taylor are the top scorers for Kilmarnock in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
