Stats for this game
Matchup Kilmarnock VS Motherwell
Motherwell set the broad direction
Motherwell’s stronger historical return supplies the main context, and their results on 24 January 2026 and 22 November 2025 underline that advantage. They won 4-0 and 3-1 respectively, both with Kilmarnock unable to find an equal response on the scoreboard. The sequence is not uniform, however. Kilmarnock won 2-0 on 5 April 2025, while the teams drew 0-0 on 8 January 2025 and 1-1 on 20 December 2024.
Margins can move sharply
The cup offers a separate illustration of how a close contest may be decided: Motherwell beat Kilmarnock 1-0 after extra time on 18 August 2024, following a goalless score at the end of normal time. Earlier league results also include Kilmarnock’s 4-1 win on 20 March 2021, alongside Motherwell’s 4-0 result on 24 January 2026. Future meetings will ask whether Kilmarnock can turn a narrow response into a sustained answer, or whether Motherwell’s ability to create separation remains the defining feature.
