• Fixture: Motherwell vs Livingston
• Date: Saturday, 06 December 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: Fir Park

Motherwell's recent form suggests they're in a solid position heading into this match. With two wins and three draws in their last five games, they've shown they can hold their own against tough competition. The predicted 4-3-1-2 formation should allow them to maintain a balanced approach, with attackers like Callum Hendry and Tawanda Maswanhise capable of exploiting any gaps in Livingston's defence.

Livingston, on the other hand, have struggled lately, losing three of their last five matches. Their predicted 4-2-3-1 formation might help them be more compact in midfield, but they'll need to be more clinical in front of goal. If Motherwell can capitalise on Livingston's recent defensive frailties, they could secure another victory. However, Livingston's attacking threat, led by Tete Yengi, could make this a closer contest than expected.

Motherwell have been in decent form recently, with two wins and three draws in their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 0-0 draw against Falkirk away from home, showing their ability to grind out results even when not at their best. This run of form should give them confidence heading into this match, as they've managed to keep clean sheets in their last two games and have shown they can score when needed.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Draw: 0-0 vs Falkirk (A)
• Draw: 0-0 vs Heart Of Midlothian (H)
• Win: 2-0 vs Hibernian (H)
• Win: 3-1 vs Kilmarnock (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Aberdeen (A)

Livingston have had a tougher time of it lately, losing three of their last five games. Their most recent result was a 0-1 loss at home to Aberdeen, which adds to the pressure they're under. With only one win in their last five matches, they'll need to improve significantly to get a result against a confident Motherwell side. Their recent form suggests they might struggle to keep a clean sheet, which could be a concern.

• Loss: 0-1 vs Aberdeen (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Rangers (A)
