Kilmarnock
- Kilmarnock have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five games.
- Kilmarnock bounced back from a 5-1 mauling at Falkirk by edging out Hearts 1-0 at Rugby Park last weekend in a game that was closer than the scoreline suggests.
Livingston
- Livingston have drawn four of their last five matches, losing the other, to make it a run of four straight draws.
- The home side are 11th in the 2025/2026 Scottish Premiership table with 24 points from 30 games while bottom side Livingston are down in 12th with 15 points from the same number of matches.
- Kilmarnock have been much improved since Neil McCann took over as head coach in January 2026, bringing structure and discipline to the club’s tactical approach, while Marvin Bartley has installed a similar pragmatic approach at Livi since taking charge in February 2026.
Head-to-Head
Kilmarnock have won two and drawn three of the last five meetings between these clubs and the last head-to-head, which finished 1-1 at Livingston’s ground two months ago, was in the 2025/2026 campaign.
Key Players
- Tyreece John-Jules leads the way for Kilmarnock with eight goals in 18 2025/2026 Premiership games, scoring four in his last five appearances, while Jeremy Bokila has scored five in 22 for Livingston.
- The visitors have scored six in their last five and Lewis Smith has contributed two of those.
Betting Insights
- We’re backing BTTS to land on Saturday with the odds of 1.67 suggesting an open contest is due.
- The home team are 1.84 to win this game and that looks about right given they are unbeaten in their last three at home to Livi, but the visitors have also drawn six of their 15 away games this term.
Prediction
- This tactical contest should make for a fascinating clash, but the hosts are favored to win as Livingston have not won on the road in the 2025/2026 season.
- But the bottom club are gritty and can also find the goal on their day, so both clubs look capable of hitting the back of the net on Saturday.
