Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Livingston will look to recover from a 4-2 loss to Hearts when they take on Ross County on Saturday afternoon. The Lions failed to win the previous seven league matches and given their shaky defence, home win should not be considered. Midfielder Tete Yengi is banned for the match, while Cristian Montano, Andrew Shinnie, and James Penrice are out of contention with injuries.
The Staggies, on the other hand, did well to upset Rangers in their last league match, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Ross County, though, have been struggling on the travels this term and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Saturday’s clash. All Will Nighingale, Scott Allardice, and Ross Callachan are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while Dylan Smith faces race against the clock to be fit for the match.
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.
