Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Livingston play host to St Johnstone at their Tony Macaroni Arena on day 36 of the current Premiership campaign. The Lions aim to recover from a heavy 4-1 loss to Motherwell, but seeing that they failed to avoid relegation, home win should not be considered. Jason Holt is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, with Tete Yengi being ready to step up. Joel Nouble is pushing for a recall to the starting XI as well.
The Saints, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches. St Johnstone are determined to escape the relegation zone and seeing that Livingston head into Saturday’s game with the lack of motivation, away win should be considered. Both Sven Sprangler and Ross Sinclair are sidelined with injuries, while Diallang Jaiyesimi is a major doubt.
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.
