Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Livingston will look to put an end to their ten-game winless run in the Premiership when they take on St Johnstone on Wednesday evening. The Lions obviously struggle in front of goal, but the midweek clash could be the turning point for the home side. Tom Parkes limped off with injury in a 2-0 loss to Celtic, with Michael Nottingham likely to step up.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Rangers and Kilmarnock. As the visitors are eager to return to winning ways as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. In their last meeting in the Scottish top flight the two sides played out a 1-1 draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Diallang Jaiyesimi is back from suspension, while all Sam McClelland, Drey Wright, and Alistair Crawford are out of contention through injuries.
Highlighted Team (Livingston):
Nicknamed the Lions, Livingstone are the Scottish Premier League club founded during the Second World War (1943) under the name of Ferranti Amateurs. Livingston welcome their opponents at Almondvale Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 9,512.
The Lions are known for their amber home kit, with the team wearing white when playing on the travels. Livingston have yet to win the Scottish Premier League title, but they did remarkably well to go all the way in the Scottish League Cup in the 2003/2004 season. The Lions recorded a 2-0 win over Hibernian in the title game played at Hampden Park in Glasgow.
Livingston registered their biggest win against Stranraer (8-0) in August 2012 in the first round of the Scottish League Cup, while their most massive defeat came on December 14, 1974, as they were beaten 8-0 by Hamilton. Legendary Premier League coach Paul Lambert is regarded as one of the club’s most notable players.
