Prediction: 1-1
Motherwell
Livingston play host to Motherwell at their Tony Macaroni Arena on day 8 of the new Premiership campaign. The Lions are eager to put an end to their five-game winless run in all competitions, but the bookies see them as the underdogs in Saturday’s clash. Midfielder Cristian Montano misses out with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Well, on the other hand, are eager to put an end to their three-game losing run in the Premiership. Since both sides will go for a victory in Saturday’s showdown, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. All Mika Biereth, Jonathan Obika, and Calum Butcher are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team. Last time out, the two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Tony Macaroni Arena.
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.
