Motherwell travel to Aberdeen on Wednesday night, knowing a win is required to keep in contention for a place in the top six.

Here’s an early look ahead to the match.

The top six permutations

A win is absolutely essential for Motherwell to keep up hopes of a late surge into the top six. Hibernian must also lose at home to Kilmarnock on the same night for the Steelmen to take the matter to the final day of the regular season.

Tale of the tape

Aberdeen have had topsy-turvy form in their last 10 matches. The Dons have recorded three wins, four draws and three defeats in that time.

Their home league form has also seen Derek McInnes’ side go without a Ladbrokes Premiership victory at Pittodrie in seven matches. Six games since 22 December have seen them draw three and lose three.

Motherwell’s win over St Johnstone on Saturday made it seven wins from their last 10 games. There has only been two defeat in that spell – losses at Celtic and Hibernian.

Head to head

Motherwell matches with Aberdeen are never predictable.

This season has seen both teams win on home turf. Aberdeen won 1-0 earlier in the campaign, before a resounding 3-0 victory for the Steelmen at Fir Park.

Motherwell won their second-last visit to the north east, with Louis Moult’s double in November 2017 getting all three points.

It was win or bust for our top six hopes.

This is the Story of the Match from the visit of St Johnstone.

See the best of the action as Motherwell keep in touch of the top six with an emphatic victory over St Johnstone in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

Goal scorers Elliott Frear, David Turnbull and Richard Tait speak as Motherwell keep top six hopes alive with a win over St Johnstone.

Stephen Robinson says his Motherwell side deserve to still be in top six reckoning after victory over St Johnstone.

The boss praised his side’s patience, before inspiring second half play saw the team’s quality shine through in the end.

Motherwell kept their top six dreams going with an emphatic 3-0 victory over St Johnstone.

Second half goals from Elliott Frear, David Turnbull and Richard Tait sealed all three points, keeping the Steelmen within five points of Hibernian with two games to go.

A difficult first half saw the hosts have plenty of the ball, but struggle to break down a Saints defence which sat in and stood firm.

Chris Kane had a glorious chance early on for the visitors, before they were given a penalty for a foul which was hotly contested.

With anger rising, Mark Gillespie got down early to keep out Liam Craig’s spot kick effort to keep his clean sheet.

The second half saw a scrappy opening 20 minutes, before the introductions of Frear and the returning Chris Cadden sparked Motherwell’s attacking play to life.

Dunne’s pass into Main’s feet saw the big striker hold off his marker, spin and play in Frear, who curled his first-time effort into the far corner of the net.

Ten minutes later, it was two. Campbell was the creator, laying in Turnbull who played a tidy finish past Zander Clark.

Then, in stoppage time, skipper Richard Tait cut in from the left side and placed a bouncing shot into the far right corner of the net.

Richard Tait says there’s no reason Motherwell can’t achieve the goal of reaching the top six of the Ladbrokes Premiership table.

A win is needed for the Steelmen against St Johnstone on Saturday afternoon, as both sides fight to catch Hibernian in sixth spot.

Stephen Robinson has urged his Motherwell team to end their top six battle with St Johnstone with “no regrets”, as they chase a win to stay in the reckoning in the Ladbrokes Premiership’s top half.
