Season ticket holders at Tony Macaroni Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Livingston languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Dundee United will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Livingston has the most dropped points from leading position (9) in Premiership
- Dundee United have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Livingston form and stats
Livingston's struggle is real here at Tony Macaroni Arena with only 7 points collected from 8 Premiership games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-5. Game days at Tony Macaroni Arena have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Livingston as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Livingston's last game was hosting Ayr United and winning 4-0. Preceding that match was a Premiership defeat to St. Mirren (0-1).
As mentioned above, Livingston "killed" Ayr United in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. The 4-0 win against Ayr United was decided after a strong and deadly first half, making the second half more of a journey towards the final whistle.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Livingston have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won four times, drawn zero and lost five.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Livingston here at Tony Macaroni Arena in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 8 games). Livingston have conceded 12 from these games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Dundee United form and stats
2 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Dundee United playing as the away team in the Premiership this season. One point away has become something of a habit for Dundee United who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Dundee won their last game, 2-1 versus Hamilton Academical played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to St. Johnstone (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties).
Dundee United are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, three draws and one defeat. From a total of six matches.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Dundee as they have only managed to score 4 times from 7 away games in the league. 10 goals have been conceded by Dundee in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
