Next up: Hearts

Yesterday at 07:00 AM

The women of steel will cross the Edinburgh divide this weekend, with Motherwell set to take on Hearts after facing fierce rivals Hibernian the previous week, as Motherwell prepare to close-out their final fixture of 2024 at K-Park on Sunday. 

Motherwell will look to rectify their performance after a frustrating display in the Scottish capital last weekend, as the women of steel were dealt a bitter blow in the second-half, with Hibs coasting to an unmatched four-goal advantage despite a competitive first-half performance at Meadowbank.

The Tale of the Tape 

Motherwell 

Paul Brownlie’s side will conclude their final SWPL fixture of the calendar year, as they return to South Lanarkshire to face Hearts this weekend. The women of steel’s last victory over the Jambos came in 2022, with Motherwell looking to get back to winning ways against the visitors on Sunday, with Paul Brownlie’s side defeated in their last three meetings between the sides.

The women of steel can secure their place in the top-six until the new year with a victory this weekend, as their women of steel attempt to maintain their current one-point advantage over closest-rivals Partick Thistle in the SWPL table.

Motherwell have sought to strengthen their home advantage, with the K-Park side picking up three-wins from three in East Kilbride – defeated only by title-chasers Rangers and Celtic.

Hearts

The Gorgie-side are unbeaten in their last three, defeating Aberdeen and Spartans, whilst being held to a goalless stalemate against league leaders Glasgow City. Eva Olid’s side have impressed on the road, recording six-consecutive victories – scoring on 22-occasions whilst defensively maintaining an impeccable clean sheet.n
