The final round of the Scottish League Cup group stage concludes on Sunday, with Motherwell hosting Partick Thistle in the day’s sole match. 

The hosts are top of Group G and a draw, depending on Clyde’s result on Saturday, could be enough to see them through to the second round, with a win guaranteeing them a place in the next phase. 

Thistle, however, need a win to have any chance of qualifying, assuming Clyde beat Montrose on Saturday.

Motherwell v Partick Thistle stats and head-to-head record (H2H)

Motherwell are leading the way in Group G having won two matches and earning two points in their other game by beating Montrose on penalties. 

Partick Thistle, meanwhile, are sat on six points having beaten Edinburgh City and Montrose, but they suffered a shock defeat to Clyde last time out and will be looking to find form again before their league season kicks off next weekend. 

Goals could be on the cards at Fir Park given that eight of Motherwell’s last 11 competitive games have seen both teams score, with the same bet landing in seven of Partick’s last eight matches, excluding friendlies. 

Motherwell have the better head-to-head record, winning 14 of the 34 meetings between these sides including three of the last six, but the two haven’t met since 2018, making this a hard game to call.

Motherwell v Partick Thistle team news

Motherwell team news

Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell has confirmed that captain Paul McGinn and defender Steve Seddon are available for this clash, but the game has come too soon for Ross Callachan, Johnny Koutroumbis and Sam Nicholson, although they are all nearing a return. 

Harry Paton was forced off last week and has since had surgery, meaning he has joined Callum Slattery on the sidelines, with both expected to be out until November at the earliest. 

Partick Thistle team news

Steven Lawless remains out for Partick Thistle and he has been joined on the sidelines by goalkeeper David Mitchell who was forced off in the loss to Clyde last week and is unlikely to be risked so soon.
