• Fixture: Motherwell vs Livingston
• Date: Saturday, 06 December 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: Fir Park

Motherwell's recent form suggests they are in a good position to take on Livingston. With two wins and three draws in their last five matches, they show a solid defensive record and the ability to score when needed. The predicted 4-3-1-2 formation should allow them to maintain a balanced approach, with Callum Hendry and Tawanda Maswanhise up front posing a threat to Livingston's defence.

Livingston, on the other hand, have struggled recently, losing three out of their last five games. Their predicted 4-2-3-1 formation might help them to be more compact in midfield, but they will need to be more clinical in front of goal. The head-to-head record also favours Motherwell, which could give them the psychological edge.

Motherwell have shown good form in their recent matches, with two wins and three draws. Their ability to keep clean sheets in their last two games against Falkirk and Heart of Midlothian indicates a strong defensive setup. This solid run of form should give them confidence going into the match against Livingston.

Livingston have had a tough run of late, losing three out of their last five games.

Motherwell's predicted 4-3-1-2 formation should provide a balanced approach, with Callum Hendry and Tawanda Maswanhise leading the attack. The midfield quartet of Tom Sparrow, Lukas Fadinger, Oscar Priestman, and Callum Slattery will be crucial in controlling the game and supporting the forwards.

• Predicted lineup: Prior (GK), Lawal (DF), Finlayson (DF), Wilson (DF), Montano (DF), Tait (MF), Susoho (MF), Smith (MF), Pittman (MF), May (MF), Yengi (AT)

Livingston's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation will likely see them focus on a compact midfield, with Michael Tait and Mo Sangare Susoho anchoring the centre. The attacking trio of Scott Pittman, Scott May, and Tete Yengi will need to be sharp to break down Motherwell's defence.

• Hendry vs Wilson: Callum Hendry's pace and finishing will test Danny Wilson's defensive skills.

• Fadinger vs Pittman: Lukas Fadinger's control in midfield will be crucial against Scott Pittman's creativity.

• Slattery (Motherwell): Callum Slattery's ability to dictate the tempo will be key for Motherwell's midfield.

• Lawal (Livingston): Samson Lawal's versatility in midfield will be vital for Livingston's performance.
