Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Tony Macaroni Arena will host Saturday’s football game between Livingston and Dundee United, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Livingston are eager to stay in top six, and the fact that they defeated Aberdeen in their last home game is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Dundee United. Jamie Brandon should miss out with injury, while goalkeeper Shamal George returned to training.
The Terrors, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only 12 points on their account. The rock-bottom side are on a three-game losing run on the road, and given their poor away record (0-3-5), we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. Defender Charles Mulgrew has yet to overcome a thigh problem, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting side.

Craig Sibbald is a Scottish footballer who plays for Livingston as a midfielder. Sibbald started his senior career at Falkirk, and after scoring 30 goals in 214 appearances for the Bairns, he signed a two-year contract with Livingston in the summer of 2018.
