Motherwell travel to Dundee this week following two significant league losses, letting in five goals and scoring none. Their recent results of one victory from five matches has them placed fifth in the league standings, having earned eight points from six matches.
A heavy defeat at home to Aberdeen last weekend came after a narrow loss away to Rangers. A further loss at Dens Park would mean a third consecutive league defeat, something they have not experienced since a specific month in 2025.
Dundee will be a difficult opponent, as they have found the net in every one of their previous 11 league matches at their home ground. Their most extended period of scoring at home in the top division lasted for 20 matches from a month in 2013 to a month in 2015. The home team also has multiple players who are currently the best in the league in various defensive categories this campaign, including the leaders in tackles, interceptions, and regaining possession.
Motherwell will be trying to prevent losing two successive league matches at Dundee for the first time since a month in 2015. The historical results at Dens Park have changed lately; following a run of four consecutive home defeats to Motherwell from 2017 to 2019, Dundee have been defeated in only two of the past seven encounters there, securing three victories and two draws.
Stuart Kettlewell's team needs to improve their recent lack of goals before a challenging away match against the league's top team on a date in December. The team must tackle this challenge while missing a number of important squad members, with several players currently unavailable.
