ℹ️ Team News: Livingston
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the lone fitness concern for the Livingston manager David Martindale to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Keaghan Jacobs (Foot Injury) is sidelined.
🗞️ Team News: Raith Rovers
Thanks to a mainly healthy group of players, there is only the sole fitness problem for the Raith Rovers manager John McGlynn to contend with. David McKay (Cruciate Ligament Surgery) won’t be in action.
⚡ Prediction
We’re thinking that Livingston should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
In contrast, Raith Rovers may well find it hard to get a goal of their own but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be being dangerous for periods.
Our selection here is for a controlled 3-1 winning score for Livingston at the end of this one.
