Prediction: 1-1
Aberdeen
Following a midweek loss to St Johnstone, Livingston will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Scotland Premier League when they face Aberdeen at Tony Macaroni Arena. The Lions have been having their ups and downs of late, but they are surely capable of matching the Dons in front of home fans. Joel Nouble is banned for the match, while Sebastian Soto is out of contention through injury.
Aberdeen, on the other hand, are eager to stay in top six, and seeing that they will go for a win in Saturday’s showdown as well, punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. All Watkins, Devlin, and Considine miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away side. January signing Vicente Besuijen should keep his place in the starting XI.
