Match Preview: Dundee United (H)

14/04/2024 11:00

The women of steel return to action after another fortnight break to the domestic calendar, with Motherwell determined to replicate the performance that coasted past nearest league rivals Aberdeen when they host Dundee United at Fir Park this afternoon.

Paul Brownlie's side headed into the break in fine form, firing 11-goals past Spartans, Hamilton and Aberdeen in three back-to-back victories, conceding only once in that time.

Motherwell's prolific spell in East Kilbride and on the road firmly placed the women of steel in the ascendency to preserve their SWPL status this season, with the hosts now 15-points clear of Dundee United and Hamilton in the relegation playoff position.

The Tale of the Tape

Motherwell

Motherwell return to ML1 for the first time since facing Glasgow Women in the latter stages of the 2022/23 SWPL campaign, placing four-past the visitors in an assured performance under the Fir Park lights.

The women of steel remain unbeaten in the post-split, with victory over Spartans in the last day of the regular season prompting an impressive run of form, with a confident performance over Spartans in the Capital preceding an assured Lanarkshire Derby victory in ML3.

Louisa Boyes continued her recent goalscoring pedigree, netting a second-half brace over Spartans before breaking the deadlock in the local derby with Hamilton. Morgan Cross, Amy Anderson, Bailley Collins and Jo Addie have also found the target throughout that spell.

Dundee United

The Tangerines have struggled to overcome a frustrating run of form, picking up no points since November in a spell of 14-straight defeats in all competitions.

Dundee United came close to ending their winless run of form in the City of Discovery against Spartans over a fortnight ago, but a late second-half response saw the Edinburgh side coasting to a 4-2 victory.
