Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Tony Macaroni Arena will host Wednesday’s football game between Livingston and Motherwell, the two teams who were beaten by Ross County and Celtic respectively at the weekend. The Lions have suffered three defeats in the previous four league matches and given their current position (12th) in the standings, this has to go down as yet another must-win game for the relegation strugglers.
Bruce Anderson is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a brace against the Staggies, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. The Well, on the other hand, were on the verge of holding Scottish powerhouse Celtic to a draw at the weekend, but the Hoops eventually scored two late goals to seal the victory. Anyhow, we are positive that Stuart Kettlewell’s troops are going to grab something from the midweek clash as their performance against Brendan Rodgers’ troops was anything but poor.
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.
