Motherwell - Heart of Midlothian

Motherwell are desperate to halt a slide that has seen them lose five consecutive Premiership matches as they welcome Heart of Midlothian to Fir Park on 25 October 2026 for matchday 10. The hosts have struggled to find their rhythm since a 3-0 victory over Dundee United in early September, most recently falling 3-2 to Kilmarnock. With Seb Palmer Houlden and Ibrahim Said expected to lead the line, the home side will aim to exploit any fatigue in the visitors following their recent European commitments.

Heart of Midlothian arrive in search of stability after a difficult week, which included a heavy defeat at Celtic and a midweek trip to Turkey in the Conference League. While their domestic form had shown promise with a 5-0 thrashing of St. Mirren earlier this month, the visitors will need to regroup quickly. Claudio Braga and his teammates face a Motherwell side that has proven difficult to beat in recent head-to-head encounters, including a 1-1 draw in May.
