• Fixture: Livingston vs Dundee Utd
• Date: Tuesday, 30 December 2025
• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT
• Venue: The Home of the Set Fare Arena

Livingston will be looking to bounce back from a string of disappointing results, particularly their recent heavy defeat at home to Celtic. With a predicted 4-3-3 formation, they might aim to exploit the wings with Tete Yengi and Stevie May leading the attack. However, their confidence could be low after five games without a win, which might affect their performance against a Dundee Utd side that has shown resilience in their recent matches.

Dundee Utd, on the other hand, have been more consistent, drawing their last three games and securing a notable win against Celtic. Their 3-4-3 formation suggests a balanced approach, with Craig Sibbald and Will Ferry controlling the midfield. Given their recent form and the solidity of their backline, Dundee Utd might just edge this encounter, especially if Livingston's morale remains shaky.

Match Prediction: Livingston 1-2 Dundee Utd

Livingston's recent form has been poor, with their last five games resulting in four losses and one draw. Their most recent match saw them lose 2-4 at home to Celtic, which could have dented their confidence significantly. This run of results suggests that Livingston might struggle to find their footing and momentum going into this match.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Loss: 2-4 vs Celtic (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs ST Mirren (A)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Dundee (H)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Motherwell (A)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Aberdeen (H)

Dundee Utd have shown more consistency in their recent performances, with three draws and a win in their last five games. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw away to Aberdeen, which indicates a level of resilience and ability to compete against strong opposition. This form should give them a boost in confidence and a solid foundation to build on for the upcoming game.

• Draw: 1-1 vs Hibernian (H)
• Win: 2-1 vs Celtic (H)

• May vs Iovu: Stevie May's pace and finishing will be tested against Iurie Iovu's defensive solidity.
