Motherwell are in the mix to challenge for the Scottish Premiership title. Saturday's 2-0 victory over Dundee United marked their fourth clean sheet in a row as they moved a point behind the defending champions. They've conceded just 18 goals in 28 league games, fewer than any other team in the division and one of the best defensive records in Europe. Only Italian side Roma (16), Portuguese outfits Porto (8), Sporting (12) and Benfica (13) and Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise (15) have conceded fewer goals across the continent's top leagues. Italians Como, defending Ligue 1 champions Paris St-Germain, Premier League leaders Arsenal, Bundesliga title holders Bayern Munich and Spain's Real Madrid have all conceded more league goals than Askou's side this season.
