The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Dundee United are in the 7th position while the guesting Livingston worry at 9th.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Dundee United form and stats
1-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Premiership numbers at home for Dundee United so far this season.
Dundee United drew their last game, 1-1 away at Hamilton Academical (placed 10th). Before that, Dundee had a home game versus St. Mirren which ended with a victory 2-1.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Dundee have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won two, drawn three and lost zero.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Dundee here at Tannadice Park in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 4 games). On the other hand, Dundee have conceded 4 goals.
Livingston form and stats
0-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Livingston, who have the fewest points (1) away in Premiership, in their Premiership matches away. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Livingston have lost on their last two travels.
Livingston won their last game, 2-0 versus St. Johnstone played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Celtic wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Livingston playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were zero Livingston wins, five draws and two defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Livingston now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Cup game at Edinburgh City is waiting in only four days.
Livingston have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 4 league away games 5 goals have been scored. The Livingston manager G. Holt has some worries about the defense as 8 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Dundee, one draw and five wins for Livingston. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
