Prediction: 2-0
St Johnstone
Tony Macaroni Arena will host Tuesday’s football game between Livingston and St Johnstone. The Lions aim to build on a 3-2 win over Hibernian, and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach. Tom Parkes misses out with injury for the hosts, while Daniel Barden is out of contention through illness. The Saints, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Dundee FC.
St Johnstone are stuck at the bottom of the table, and given their poor run of results, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. To make things even worse for the visiting team, Turkey international Nadir Ciftci suffered an injury in the last league match. The likes of Shaun Rooney, Craig Bryson, and David Wotherspoon remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting team.
