Livingston hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 11 points and a 9th position in the Premiership table. Visiting Motherwell holds 8th place with 11 pts.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Livingston form and stats
2 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Livingston have to build on here at Tony Macaroni Arena in the Premiership.
Livingston faced defeat in their previous match, away at Rangers (0-2). Preceding that match was a defeat to Kilmarnock (1-3).
This is expected to be a close game, with Livingston perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Livingston as a small favourite), we find nine games. Livingston has won six of these, drawn two and lost one.

Motherwell form and stats
The visitors are W1-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Premiership.
Motherwell had fun at their own home (Tony Macaroni Arena) last time out, beating Ross County 4-0. Tony Watt, Devante Cole, Callum Lang and Mark O'Hara scored. A 1-5 loss hosting Rangers before that.
As you can tell from the results above, Motherwell was very dominant against Ross County, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Tony Watt, Devante Cole, Callum Lang and Mark O'Hara providing the goals.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Motherwell playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were two Motherwell wins, one draw and four defeats.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 4 goals have been conceded by Motherwell in these games.
