Prediction: 1-1
St Mirren
After suffering elimination in the Scottish Cup last 16, Livingston will look to return to winning ways in the Premiership when they host St. Mirren to their Tony Macaroni Arena. The Lions played out a 1-1 draw with Ross County in their last league match, with the team dropping to 9th place in the standings. Livingston aim to regain their spot in top six, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. Sebastian Soto has yet to recover from a knee problem, while Daniel Barden remains on the sidelines through illness.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Hibernian and St. Johnstone. St. Mirren have been showing signs of improvement of late, and they are surely capable of matching Livingston at Tony Macaroni Arena. A close encounter is on the cards, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Both Curtis Main and Eamonn Brophy are sidelined with injuries for the away side.
