Motherwell will be looking to end their five-game run without a victory on Saturday when they travel to the Pittodrie Stadium to face Aberdeen.

The hosts have gone three matches in a row without a defeat now, but find themselves level on points with the Steelmen.

We say: Aberdeen 2-0 Motherwell

Despite the fact these two teams are level on points, when it comes to momentum and confidence they are worlds apart right now, and that is going to give Aberdeen a distinct advantage.

Motherwell have struggled defensively as of late and that should lead to opportunities for the Dons to cause pressure and secure the three points.
