Livingston, Recent FormLivingston will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-2 away win against Hibernian. During that encounter they had 33% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 12 shots on goal.
Manager David Martindale will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
There will be mixed feelings from Livi, although undefeated in their last 6 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
St Mirren, Recent FormSt Mirren manager Stephen Robinson will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Aberdeen. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Aberdeen who had 4 attempts and 2 on target.
Having lost 13 goals in their past 6 matches, Robinson will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 9 goals they scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 10 games overall.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
On an individual basis, Mark O'Hara is giving St Mirren's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
After a good 3-0 win for St Mirren in this pair's last league encounter, Livingston will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
The Livingston defence has struggled in front of its own fans when The Buddies have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 14 meetings at The Tony Macaroni Arena.
When playing at home in the league, Livingston have failed to win any of their last 4 meetings with St Mirren, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
Livingston manager David Martindale has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jamie Brandon (Cruciate ligament), Sean Kelly (Unknown) and Daniel Mackay (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson ahead of this clash, with Jonah Ayunga (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Robinson a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
