Livingston get ready to host Celtic for another entertaining Premiership game here at Tony Macaroni Arena.
- Livingston is in the worst form (0-1-4)
- Celtic have the most scored goals (16) in Premiership
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. That game, against Real Betis, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Celtic.
Livingston form and stats
Livingston have less points than they have played home games in the Premiership so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. The Livingston manager D. Martindale might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Stress levels are on the rise for Livingston's attacking players as they have now played 232 minutes without scoring in a league game. A. Forrest was their last goal scorer.
Livingston travelled for their previous game, a trip to Dundee that ended 0-0. The Livingston goalkeeper Max Stryjek was crucial in the match against Dundee last time out, making eight saves. The goalie Max Stryjek was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 9.41 out of ten. Stryjek stopped the opponent with eight saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Hibernian (0-2).There will be little rest for Livingston after this match as they are travelling to Rangers for a League Cup game in only three days.
Livingston has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Celtic form and stats
No Premiership points yet away for Celtic, from their first 2 matches. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Celtic have lost on their last two travels.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Celtic, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 3-4 versus Real Betis. Leading 2-0 was not enough for Celtic in their fight with Real Betis last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 3-4 loss. As you can tell from the result, the match against Real Betis was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? David Turnbull got a match rating of 8.02 in that game, top player of the team. Turnbull served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 54 successful passes (of 57 total).
Before that, Celtic secured a home win against Ross County with the score 3-0.A new game in only four days for Celtic, the League Cup home match versus Raith Rovers. Busy days.
1 goal so far away for Celtic, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings featuring these two sides are: one win for Livingston, five draws and four wins for Celtic. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
