Livingston, Recent FormThe 3-2 away defeat to Ross County will not have sat easily with the Livingston squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 48%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Ross County, who had 12 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Their boss David 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 6 goals scored. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing at home, they have failed to score in 7 of their 13 games this season.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table. Their results in the league have been very poor so far this season, with only 3 wins from their 27 matches.
Motherwell, Recent FormWith Celtic sitting a clear 7 places above them in the table, Motherwell won't feel totally dejected with their 3-1 home defeat by them last time out. In that game they had 29% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Celtic who had 18 attempts and 7 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 11 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 24 of their 27 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 11 games.
Goalscorer Theo Bair will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Motherwell.
It was not a positive ending for Livingston last time they met Motherwell in the league, with the game ending in a 3-1 defeat.
Away from home, The Steelmen have shipped at least one goal to Livingston in each of their previous 5 league matches against them.
In the league, Livingston have been unbeaten in their last 4 times they have welcomed Motherwell to The Tony Macaroni Arena.
With only Jamie Brandon (Cruciate ligament) and Daniel Mackay (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, David Martindale will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell ahead of this clash, with Andy Halliday (Calf) missing out, which gives Kettlewell a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
