Kilmarnock Draw no Bet
Kilmarnock have been a tough nut to crack at The BBSP Stadium Rugby Park this season and they have lost just three times in 12 home assignments in the Premiership overall this term. Motherwell meanwhile, have pocketed just two points from the last 18 on offer on the road and they dropped more in each of their previous two encounters with Killie in 2022/23. There is plenty of wiggle room in the drawn no bet stakes here and our opening Kilmarnock vs Motherwell prediction advises a stake in that direction.
Both Teams to Score
Recent meetings between Kilmarnock and Motherwell have been exciting affairs and both teams managed to etch their names on the scoresheet in three of the last four skirmishes between the teams. Kille have failed to score in only two of their 12 home matches this season, while The Well have found the net in ten of their 13 tests on the road. Those records should give you enough confidence to back both teams to score this weekend.

Kilmarnock vs Motherwell Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Kilmarnock vs Motherwell lineups and team news for Saturday’s Premiership bout below.
Kilmarnock
Defender Jeriel Dorsett faces another couple of weeks on the sidelines, while midfielders Ben Chrisene and Innes Cameron are also both expected to sit out the next few games for Kilmarnock. Attacker Kyle Vassell is serving a suspension for his sending off in last weekend's 2-0 loss at Hibernian.
Predicted Lineup for Kilmarnock: Walker – Mayo, Wright, Stokes, Chambers – Armstrong, Lyons, Alston, Jones, McKenzie – Doidge
Motherwell
Nathan McGinley will be absent at the back this weekend, while midfield duo Mikael Mandron and Shane Blaney are also in the treatment room for Motherwell. Up front, Joseph Efford is still nursing a thigh problem, though he will hope to fit enough in time to play some kind of role on Saturday. Motherwell beat Hearts 2-0 last time out.
Predicted Lineup for Motherwell: Kelly – McGinn, Butcher, Casey – Johnston, Cornelius, Goss, Furlong – Spittal – van Veen, Obika
Player to Watch – Daniel Armstrong
Daniel Armstrong didn’t have his best game for Kilmarnock in their 2-0 loss at Hibernian last weekend, though the winger has been effective this season overall, lodging ten goal contributions in 19 starts in the Premiership. Armstrong scored when Killie beat Motherwell 2-1 back in August and the 25-year-old will hope to make a similar impact on Saturday.
