The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Livingston are in the 5th position while the guesting St. Mirren worry at 10th.
It's no vacation for neither Livingston nor St. Mirren as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Livingston form and stats
Livingston, who have the most clean sheets (9) at home in Premiership, have performed here at Tony Macaroni Arena this season with 7 wins from 12 Premiership matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 2. Livingston has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Tony Macaroni Arena. We remember; it was Hamilton Academical.
Livingston are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Inverness CT. A Premiership defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Ross County.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Livingston's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won three matches, drawn zero and lost zero.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Livingston as they are travelling to their away game against Rangers in the Premiership. That match is three days after this one.
Livingston has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Livingston have only let in 5 goals at home.
St. Mirren form and stats
There's been little loot from St. Mirren's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 12 away games in the Premiership. St. Mirren only have 1 win to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws. St. Mirren have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.
St. Mirren's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Motherwell that finished 1-1. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Hamilton Academical in the Premiership.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and St. Mirren playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and three home wins.
St. Mirren has another fixture away, a Premiership game, against Motherwell in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Many goals are not expected from the visiting St. Mirren as they have only managed to score 8 times from 12 away games in the league. St. Mirren have conceded 20 goals in these games.
