• Fixture: St Mirren vs Livingston

• Date: Saturday, 20 December 2025

• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT

• Venue: The SMISA Stadium

St Mirren will be looking to build on their recent home win against Dundee Utd, where they secured a 2-0 victory. With a predicted 3-5-2 formation, they'll likely aim to control the midfield with Phillips and Taylor, while relying on the attacking prowess of Mandron and Ayunga up front. Their recent form has been inconsistent, but a strong performance at home could see them edge out Livingston.

Livingston, on the other hand, have struggled to find wins recently, with their last point coming against Dundee in a 2-2 draw. Their predicted 4-2-3-1 formation suggests they'll try to counter-attack, with Montano and Bokila leading the charge. However, their away form has been poor, and they might find it challenging to break down St Mirren's defence.

St Mirren's recent form has been a mixed bag, with a convincing 2-0 home win against Dundee Utd being the highlight. However, they've struggled both at home and away, losing three of their last four matches, including a 1-3 defeat to Dundee and a 0-1 loss to Celtic. Their home advantage could give them the confidence needed to secure a positive result against Livingston.

Livingston have had a tough run lately, with no wins in their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 2-2 draw against Dundee at home, but they've lost three of their last four games, including a 0-3 defeat to Motherwell and a 0-1 loss to Aberdeen. Their inconsistent form might make it difficult for them to get a result away at St Mirren.

The head-to-head record between St Mirren and Livingston has been closely contested recently. In their last five meetings, St Mirren have won twice and Livingston once, with the other two matches ending in draws. The most recent encounter saw Livingston secure a 1-0 victory, while St Mirren won the previous meeting 1-0. This suggests that the upcoming match could be another tight affair.

St Mirren's predicted 3-5-2 formation will likely see them focus on controlling the midfield with Phillips and Taylor, while relying on the attacking duo of Mandron and Ayunga to provide the goals. This setup should allow them to maintain a solid defensive structure while still posing a threat going forward.

• Predicted lineup: Prior (GK), Brenet (DF), Blaney (if fit) (DF), Wilson (DF), Finlayson (DF), Tait (MF), Susoho (MF), Smith (MF), Pittman (MF), Montano (MF), Bokila (AT)

Livingston's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation suggests they'll aim to counter-attack, with Montano and Bokila leading the charge up front. The midfield duo of Tait and Susoho will be crucial in breaking up play and transitioning quickly to support the attack.

• Jonah Ayunga vs Danny Wilson: Ayunga's pace and movement will be tested against Wilson's defensive solidity.

• Killian Phillips vs Macaulay Tait: Phillips' control in midfield will be crucial against Tait's tenacity and work rate.

• Mikael Mandron (St Mirren): Mandron's physical presence and goal-scoring ability will be key for St Mirren's attack.

• Cristian Montano (Livingston): Montano's creativity and dribbling skills will be vital for Livingston's chances of breaking down St Mirren's defence.
