Dundee FC
- Dundee FC’s form has been poor in the build-up to the visit of FC Livingston, but the West Lothian club are in worse shape after a run of four defeats and one draw in their last five matches.
- Dundee tied their last home game 0-0 with Motherwell and remain unbeaten in their most recent home outing, so the hosts will feel they have a good chance of extending Livingston’s poor away record.
- They have won five of their 11 home games in the 2025/2026 season, drawn once and lost five, conceding 16 goals in 11 matches.
Livingston
- The West Lothian side have not won in their last two away games against the Dee.
- Livingston’s last three results have been three defeats in a row that include a 6-2 away defeat to Aberdeen and back-to-back home losses to Motherwell (0-2) and Falkirk (1-2) in the Scottish Premiership.
- Marvin Bartley recently took charge but has been unable to turn things around yet.
Head-to-Head
- Dundee FC have won four of the last five head-to-head meetings with Livingston in all competitions.
- Livingston have a dire away record in the Premiership 2025-2026 campaign (D4, L8 from 12 away).
Key Players
- Marvin Bartley is an experienced campaigner that has some fresh ideas to offer, but Livingston’s problem has been a lack of spark in the attacking third for years.
-
Players to watch:
- A purple patch from Marvin Bartley’s Robbie Muirhead has given some hope, as he has scored two of their last five goals.
- Jeremy Bokila leads the club’s scoring charts with five goals from 19 Premiership games this season.
- Cameron Congreve has played 21 Premiership games this term and has six assists to his name.
- Ashley Hay has two goals from 19 appearances in the top flight and provides strength, pace and power up front.
- Pressley is a tactically disciplined manager that has got his players to play with balance and to stay in their positions, which has made them tough to break down, particularly at home.
Betting Insights
The hosts can just edge a tight game if they maintain their defensive discipline and can create the odd chance, although the visitors have enough talent to breach the home defence at the other end, so the Both Teams to Score market at 1.75 looks an excellent play for this clash of styles.
Prediction
Livingston are on a three-game losing streak in the Premiership, so they need a result here to jump-start their season, but we must side with Dundee FC here because of their head-to-head record, home advantage and the fact that the visitors are in such poor shape.
