Motherwell's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The 'Well have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.

Dunfermline A.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Pars have hit 4 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Motherwell are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 33 points from 30 matches. Dunfermline A. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 31 games have yielded only 20 points.
