Livingston, Recent FormLivingston manager David Martindale will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Dundee United. They achieved 64% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Dundee United's tally of 5 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Martindale is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 5 goals scored. He will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
Results have been poor for Livingston recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
Ross County, Recent FormThe 2-0 home defeat to Motherwell will not have sat easily with the Ross County squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 48%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Motherwell had 13 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Malky Mackay will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 7 away games out of 13 this season, Mackay will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
On an individual basis, Jordan White will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Ross County's last 6 league games.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-2 win for Livingston.
The Staggies have been consistent in front of goal during their last 3 league outings away to Livingston, having found the back of the net with a goal on each occasion.
With only Jamie Brandon (Cruciate ligament) and Tom Parkes (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, David Martindale will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Ben Paton (Knee) and Ben Purrington (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Malky Mackay will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
