Stenhousemuir vs Motherwell F.C.Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Ochilview Park welcomes Motherwell for a last-16 tie that brings together two low-scoring sequences. Stenhousemuir are unbeaten in five: 2-0 against Morton, 1-1 at Raith Rovers, 0-0 with Livingston, 2-2 away to Partick and 2-1 at Brechin. None of those matches went past four goals in total, and in four of them the hosts conceded at most once. Motherwell wrapped up their European campaign with a 2-0 and a 1-1 against HJK Helsinki plus a 3-0 in Torshavn against HB, to which they add a goalless home draw with Falkirk and a 2-1 win at Easter Road over Hibernian. Their scorelines are just as compressed: never more than three goals in a single game. The one previous meeting dates to July 2025 and finished 1-0 to the visitors on this same ground, settled by a single strike. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
