Match Prediction: Livingston 2-1 Motherwell

Livingston's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but they've shown they can hold their own against tough teams like Aberdeen. They'll need to tighten up at the back after that 4-0 drubbing by Hibs, but with players like May and McLennan up top, they've got the firepower to cause Motherwell problems. Expect Livingston to come out fighting, looking to exploit any gaps in Motherwell's defence.

Motherwell have been inconsistent, but showed they can win big with that 2-0 victory over Aberdeen. They'll need to be more solid at the back after recent losses, but with Fadinger pulling the strings in midfield, they could control the game. This match could be a tight affair, with both teams looking to bounce back from recent setbacks.

Livingston's recent results have been a mixed bag, with two draws and three losses in their last five games. The heavy defeat to Hibs will be a wake-up call, and they'll need to be more defensively solid if they want to get a result here.

However, their draws against Dundee United and Aberdeen show they can compete with decent teams. If they can channel that resilience and get their attacking players firing, they might just nick this one.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Loss: 0-4 vs Hibernian (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Dundee United (A)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Rangers (H)

• Loss: 2-3 vs Dundee (A)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Aberdeen (A)

Motherwell have had a tough run lately, with two losses, a win, and two draws in their last five games. The home loss to Falkirk will sting, but the convincing win over Aberdeen shows they're capable of turning it on.

They'll need to be more consistent if they want to come away with points from this game. With Fadinger in midfield, they have the potential to dictate the tempo and create chances.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Loss: 1-2 vs Falkirk (H)

• Loss: 2-3 vs Celtic (A)

• Win: 2-0 vs Aberdeen (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Dundee (A)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Kilmarnock (H)

In their recent head-to-head clashes, Motherwell have had the upper hand, winning three of the last five meetings. Livingston managed a 2-0 victory in October 2023, but Motherwell have dominated with a 4-1 win in their most recent encounter. This suggests Motherwell might have the psychological edge going into this match.
