Livingston (home)
- Livingston’s form has gone the other way over the past few weeks, drawing three and losing two of their last five in all competitions.
- Back-to-back 1-1 draws with Saint Mirren, one of which was followed by a penalty shootout defeat in the Scottish FA Cup, and a 6-2 thrashing at Aberdeen has left David Martindale’s side in a bit of a rut.
- His side are usually very solid on their artificial pitch at the Tony Macaroni Arena, but have been leaking goals lately.
- At the other end, it has been a case of picking up what they can with Jeremy Bokila on a hot streak.
- The Congolese hitman has five Premiership goals in 19 appearances and has provided Livi’s only spark in attack in recent weeks, although Robbie Muirhead has chipped in with two of their last five goals to provide a spark of his own.
Motherwell (away)
- Motherwell come into this clash on the back of two victories in a row, a 4-0 rout of Kilmarnock and a 1-0 win over Ross County in the Scottish FA Cup, and are now unbeaten in five after a 1-1 draw at Hibernian last week.
- They have won two, drawn seven and lost just two of their 11 away league matches in Scotland’s top flight, indicating that they can take the game to their opponents no matter where they play.
Head-to-Head
Motherwell have a good recent record against the West Lothian club, having won all three of the last meetings between the clubs including a 3-0 victory in the previous Premiership 2025/2026 fixture seven weeks ago.
Key Players
-
Livingston
- Jeremy Bokila - five Premiership goals in 19 appearances.
- Robbie Muirhead - two of their last five goals.
-
Motherwell
- Askou’s side like to play in fluid attacking shapes, press high up the field and use their full backs to stretch the opposition.
Betting Insights
- FC Livingston are 12th in the Premiership with 11 points and look unlikely to escape the relegation zone.
- Motherwell are 1.86 favourites for this game while Livi are 4.03 outsiders.
- Both Teams to Score, at 1.96, looks a good bet given Livingston have netted 15 times in 11 home assignments but cannot stop conceding goals.
Prediction
With Livingston’s recent inability to break the jinx of their poor record against the Well and their lack of ability to hold the ball, we’re siding with the visitors to take all three points .
