Match Prediction: Livingston 1-2 Motherwell

Livingston's recent form has been inconsistent, with a string of losses and draws. They have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only four goals in their last five matches. However, playing at home might give them a slight advantage, as they will expect to perform better in front of their own fans. Expect Livingston to adopt a more defensive approach, looking to counter-attack and exploit any mistakes from Motherwell.

Motherwell, on the other hand, have shown a mix of results, with a notable win against Aberdeen at home. They have been more prolific in front of goal compared to Livingston, scoring eight times in their last five games. Motherwell's away form has been less convincing, but they have the firepower to challenge Livingston. The game could be closely contested, with Motherwell likely to press high and try to dominate possession.

Livingston's recent form has been poor, with three losses and two draws in their last five matches. They have struggled to score, managing only four goals in this period. This lack of attacking threat could be a concern against a Motherwell side that has shown they can score goals. However, playing at home might boost their confidence and help them put in a more competitive performance.
