History of the Partick Thistle v Motherwell fixture

Partick Th. prepare to entertain Motherwell at Firhill Stadium on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Jags are clearly on top, having won 48 and lost only 23 of the 95 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Firhill Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2003, with Partick Th. running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Partick Thistle's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Jags have scored 5, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Motherwell's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the The 'Well, and 9 goals against.

Partick Th. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 14 games have yielded only 2 points. Motherwell find themselves in a respectable 4th position, courtesy of the 20 points they have accumulated from 14 games.
