St Johnstone are winless in eight league games (D4 L4), the longest ongoing run in this season’s Scottish Premiership. It is Saints' longest winless streak in the league since January 2022 (10 games).
Motherwell have lost their last four league matches; not since January 2015 have the Steelmen lost five in succession.
St Johnstone have scored just three goals in the Premiership this season, the fewest by a side in their opening eight matches of a campaign in the competition since Livingston in 2021-22 (also three). The last side to score no more than three in their first nine games was Partick Thistle in 2015-16 (three), whose ninth match was against Motherwell.
