Livingston

LLWLLL 📉

Livingston will be looking for an improved result here after a 2-0 Premiership loss in their previous game against Kilmarnock.

In that game, Livingston managed 56% possession and 7 attempts at goal with 2 on target. At the other end, Kilmarnock had 11 shots on goal with 6 on target. Kyle Vassell (48') and Daniel Armstrong (64') scored for Kilmarnock.

Livingston have really been misfiring in more recent games. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 2 vs opposing sides during their last six fixtures. In those games, Livingston have also seen the tally of goals scored against them come to 12.

Analysis of their past results shows that Livingston:

• are winless against Dundee United in their previous 2 league matches.
• are unbeaten in their last 3 league matches at home.

Dundee United

LWWWLL

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Ross County in Premiership competition, Dundee United and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, Dundee United managed 58% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 7 on target. The only player to score for Dundee United was Jamie McGrath (24'). Ross County got 10 shots on goal with 8 on target. Jordan White (1', 57', 72') was the scorer for Ross County.

The numbers tell their own story, and Dundee United have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 8 goals in all. In defence, Dundee United have clearly had some problems. We will just have to find out whether or not that trend will be sustained into this next match.

Ahead of this clash, Dundee United are winless against Livingston when they've played them away from home in the last 8 league games. A really bad run.

ℹ️ Team News: Livingston

The Livingston boss David Martindale has zero fitness worries at all coming into this game owing to a completely injury-free squad ready to go.

In our view, Livi Lions will probably kick off with a 4-3-2-1 system for the game, utilising Shamal George, Nicky Devlin, Luiyi Perez, Morgan Boyes, Christian Montano, Andrew Shinnie, Sean Kelly, James Penrice, Stephen Kelly, Joel Nouble and Bruce Anderson.

📰 Team News: Dundee United

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin has some current player fitness concerns. Peter Pawlett (Hamstring Injury) and Dylan Levitt (Knee Injury) are not able to play.

We are inclined to think that The Tangerines might begin the game with a 3-5-2 lineup, going with M. Romano Birighitti, Loick Ayina, Charlie Mulgrew, Scott McMann, Ilmari Niskanen, Jamie McGrath, Craig Sibbald, Ian Harkes, Aziz Behich, Rory MacLeod and Glenn Middleton.

🧠 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Dundee United might have a difficult job to breach the defence of this Livingston outfit who should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore seeing a good battle with a 1-0 advantage for Livingston after 90 minutes.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
