Our predictions for Livingston vs Aberdeen

Match Prediction: Livingston 1-2 Aberdeen

Livingston's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with more downs than ups. They've struggled to find the back of the net consistently, as seen in their last five games where they've only managed to score five goals. However, playing at home might give them the boost they need, especially with their attacking duo of Yengi and May who have shown they can cause problems. If Livingston can tighten up at the back and capitalise on their home advantage, they could make this a tough game for Aberdeen.

Aberdeen, on the other hand, have been more solid, particularly in defence, with three clean sheets in their last five matches. Their ability to grind out results, as evidenced by their recent wins against Hearts and Kilmarnock, suggests they'll be looking to control the tempo and hit Livingston on the counter. With players like Aouchiche and Armstrong in good form, Aberdeen will fancy their chances of nicking a goal or two. This match could be a tactical battle, with Aberdeen's disciplined approach potentially giving them the edge.

Livingston

However, their home form has been slightly better, with an impressive 2-2 draw against Hibs. If they can shore up their defence and get their forwards firing, they might just pull off a surprise result against Aberdeen.
