Explore Coral's detailed preview for Motherwell vs Dundee Utd in the Premiership. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 19:45 BST match.

• Fixture: Motherwell vs Dundee Utd
• Date: Wednesday, 29 October 2025
• Kick-off: 19:45 BST
• Venue: Fir Park

Motherwell's recent form suggests a team capable of competing against strong opposition, as evidenced by their wins against Livingston and Aberdeen. Their ability to score in most games, coupled with a tendency to concede, indicates a match that could be open and entertaining. Dundee Utd, on the other hand, have shown resilience, particularly at home, with wins against ST Mirren and Aberdeen. However, their away form, highlighted by a draw against Rangers and a loss to Kilmarnock, suggests they might struggle to maintain the same level of performance on the road.

Given Motherwell's home advantage and their recent scoring form, they might edge out Dundee Utd, who have shown vulnerability away from home. The game could be closely contested, with both teams likely to create chances, but Motherwell's recent results at home give them a slight edge.

Motherwell's recent form has been mixed, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five games. Their victories against Livingston and Aberdeen at home suggest they are a formidable side on their own turf, capable of capitalising on home advantage. However, losses to Falkirk and Celtic indicate areas where they can be exploited, particularly in defense. This inconsistency might affect their confidence, but their home record could be a significant factor in their performance against Dundee Utd.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Win: 2-1 vs Livingston (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Falkirk (H)
• Loss: 2-3 vs Celtic (A)
• Win: 2-0 vs Aberdeen (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Dundee (A)

Dundee Utd have shown a strong home form, winning three out of their last five games, including victories against ST Mirren and Aberdeen. Their ability to draw against Rangers away from home demonstrates resilience, but a loss to Kilmarnock at home suggests they can be vulnerable. Their away form, with a draw and a loss in their last two away games, might be a concern as they face Motherwell on the road. This could impact their approach and performance in the upcoming match.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Win: 3-1 vs ST Mirren (H)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Rangers (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Livingston (H)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Kilmarnock (H)
• Win: 2-0 vs Aberdeen (H)

The head-to-head record between Motherwell and Dundee Utd shows a closely contested rivalry, with Motherwell winning three of the last five encounters and Dundee Utd securing two victories. The most recent match saw Dundee Utd win 1-0, but Motherwell's previous victories, including a 4-3 thriller, suggest they can be dangerous opponents. This history indicates that the upcoming match could be another competitive and potentially high-scoring affair.

Predicted lineup: Ward (GK), O'Donnell (DF), Gordon (DF), Welsh (DF), Longelo (DF), Fadinger (MF), Watt (MF), Maswanhise (MF), Just (MF), Said (MF), Stamatelopoulos (AT)

Motherwell's predicted lineup suggests a focus on maintaining a solid defense with O'Donnell, Gordon, Welsh, and Longelo, while relying on the creativity and goal-scoring threat of Watt, Maswanhise, Just, Said, and Stamatelopoulos in midfield and attack.

Predicted lineup: Kucherenko (GK), Iovu (DF), Esselink (DF), Keresztes (DF), Stephenson (MF), Ševelj (MF), Camará (MF), Sibbald (MF), Ferry (MF), Möller (AT), Sapsford (AT)

Dundee Utd's predicted lineup indicates a strategy to balance defense with Iovu, Esselink, and Keresztes, while utilising the midfield creativity of Stephenson, Ševelj, Camará, Sibbald, and Ferry to support the attacking duo of Möller and Sapsford.

• Stamatelopoulos vs Esselink: This duel will be crucial, with Motherwell's forward looking to exploit any defensive lapses from Dundee Utd's defender.
• Said vs Ševelj: The battle in midfield between Motherwell's Said and Dundee Utd's Ševelj could determine which team gains control of the game's tempo.
• Watt (Motherwell): Elliot Watt's role in midfield is vital for Motherwell, providing both defensive stability and creative passing to launch attacks.
• Möller (Dundee Utd): Nikolaj Möller's ability to score and create chances makes him a key player for Dundee Utd, especially in their quest to break down Motherwell's defense.
