Motherwell’s success under Jens Berthel Askou has been one of the stories of the season in the Scottish Premiership.
Implementing a possession-based style of play, Askou has led Motherwell to fourth place in the table and enter this game against Aberdeen having gone nine home matches unbeaten.
Across these nine games, Motherwell have averaged just under 60% possession per match and conceded only one goal.
The mood in the Motherwell camp is therefore very high at the moment, which stands in stark contrast to visitors Aberdeen.
The Dons have now been without a manager for four games following the sacking of Jimmy Thelin and remain in the bottom half of the table in seventh.
Aberdeen have lost five away games in a row in the Scottish Premiership and I anticipate this run extending to six when they travel to Fir Park.
