Livingston form and stats

The hunting on away grounds hasn’t been very fruitful for Livingston so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-8 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.

Livingston are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the Premiership against St. Johnstone. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting St. Mirren's place.

The attacking power of Livingston when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored in 29 matches. As opposed to that, Livingston have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Livingston - Aberdeen 1-2 played earlier this season. Numbers for the last six meetings between these two teams are: 4 wins for Aberdeen, 2 draws and 0 wins for Livingston.
