Motherwell take on Aberdeen at Fir Park this Saturday hoping to keep up their winning form at home.

Manager Terry Butcher will be hoping his young side bounce back from last weeks defeat at Tynecastle. We have won our last two home games against Hibs and Dunfermline and another win could take us level on points with Aberdeen, Partick Thistle and Livingston if other results go our way. Motherwell lost the last meeting at Fir Park between the sides 2 - 1 after leading the match through a James McFadden penalty, ex Motherwell defender Eric Deloumeaux got the winner for the Dons.



Motherwell 1 - 2 Aberdeen


Motherwell will be without Derek Adams who is suspended and Scott Leitch is out with a knee injury. Aberdeen will be missing the services of defender Eric Deloumeaux who was sent off at Kilmarnock last weekend for retaliation, midfielder Darren Young returns from injury for the Dons.



Pride of Lanarkshire Prediction So far this season Motherwell have failed to beat a side which has been in the bottom six and with Aberdeen's poor form this could be our best chance. Motherwell 3 - 2 Aberdeen
