Motherwell left-back Emmanuel Longelo has scored eight times in the Scottish Premiership this season, the most non-penalty goals by a defender in a single campaign in the competition since James Tavernier in 2022-23 (also 8). No defender on Opta record (from 2005-06) has netted more (excluding penalties) in a Scottish top-flight season.
Falkirk are unbeaten in five league meetings with Motherwell (D3 L2) since a 1-0 defeat in October 2009.
Motherwell are winless in six league visits to Falkirk (D3 L3), scoring just one goal in that run since a 2-1 victory in February 2007.
Falkirk have lost their past two league games but are yet to lose three in succession this season, last doing so in the top flight in March 2010.
Motherwell have conceded two or more goals in five of their past six league games, as many as the previous 32 combined. Their 13 goals conceded in this time are more than their previous 24 Scottish Premiership matches prior (12).
