Motherwell
- Motherwell have won two and drawn two of their last five Premiership games, while Livingston are winless in the same period (D2, L3).
- Jens Berthel Askou has made a remarkable impact since taking the helm at Motherwell in July 2025 and has started to build a possession-first, structured football project that could be a template for his future clubs.
- His ‘Well side, who sit third in the table on 22 points from 14 games, recently picked up a solid 2-0 home win over Hibernian before holding Hearts to a 0-0 draw at Fir Park.
- Askou’s team plays a first-time football in which the creative #10 plays off the striker and the full backs provide width, while the striker drops deep to create overloads.
- Our Motherwell vs FC Livingston betting tips highlight that Motherwell have won three, drawn three, and lost just one of their seven Premiership home games this season.
Livingston
- Livingston are winless in the same period (D2, L3).
- David Martindale, who took over at the West Lothian club in December 2020, keeps things compact and pragmatic with his 4-3-3 system and his side are efficient from set pieces and on the break, which are usually the only two ways they score.
- Livingston sit at the bottom of the Premiership 2025/2026 table with just 8 points from 14 matches and are struggling for goals, which is why they rely on Jeremy Bokila up front so much.
- Bokila has hit four goals in 13 Premiership appearances, including two in the last five, but neither he nor any other Livi player has been reliable enough in front of goal.
Head-to-Head
The hosts have won all five recent Premiership head-to-head clashes, including a 2-1 victory over Livingston five weeks ago. This Motherwell vs FC Livingston prediction is particularly significant considering the history between the sides.
