Hibernian v Motherwell: fourth-place tussle in the Championship group | OneFootball

Hibernian host Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership at Easter Road on Saturday, 16 May 2026, with one point separating the sides in the Championship group and fourth place on the line.

Hibernian and Motherwell sit fifth and fourth respectively, split by that single point. The last meeting ended goalless in March, while earlier this season Motherwell won 2-0 and the other fixture finished 1-1.

The Hibees have found late momentum with back-to-back away wins at Rangers and Falkirk after three straight defeats. Motherwell have one win in five, a standout victory at Rangers alongside defeats to Celtic and Falkirk and a draw with Hearts.

Motherwell's season profile points to control: 58% average possession, 85.29% passing accuracy and 17 clean sheets, with only 36 conceded. The Hibees may lean on width, having delivered 528 open-play crosses at 20.83% accuracy and scored 11 headed goals.

Tawanda Maswanhise leads the league scorers with 17 for Motherwell, supported by Emmanuel Longelo and Elijah Just. For the hosts, Martin Boyle, Jamie McGrath and Kieron Bowie have eight league goals apiece, while Callum Slattery has supplied eight assists for the visitors.

A home win would take Hibs to 60 points and above Motherwell into fourth. A draw would keep the visitors ahead, while an away victory would move them to 61 and secure fourth in the Championship group.
