Motherwell v Dundee: top-four push meets bottom-half battle | OneFootball

Motherwell host Dundee in the Scottish Premiership at Fir Park on Saturday, 20 December 2025, with fourth-placed Motherwell looking to build momentum and 10th-placed Dundee aiming to pull clear of the bottom.

Motherwell sit fourth on 27 points, Dundee are 10th with 13. The last meeting finished 1-1 in September, and the head to head tilts towards the hosts with 13 wins to Dundee's four, alongside five draws.

Form points to the home side. Motherwell are unbeaten in five league games. Dundee have one win in their last five, drawing 2-2 at Livingston last time out.

On season trends, Motherwell's control is clear: 60% possession, 85.64% passing accuracy and eight clean sheets, with 25 scored and only 15 conceded. Tawanda Maswanhise is joint top of the league scoring chart with eight, while Apostolos Stamatelopoulos has six. Emmanuel Longelo and Elijah Just have supplied three assists each. Dundee have had 38% possession, scored 15 and conceded 31, but Cameron Congreve leads the assists chart with six and could be key to unlocking chances.

The hosts' ball control and in-form forwards could test a defence that has struggled, while Dundee may look to Congreve's service to create moments on the break.

A home win would move Motherwell to 30 points and could strengthen their grip on the top four. Victory for Dundee would take them to 16 points and may ease pressure near the foot of the table.
