Livingston, Recent FormLivingston will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Hibernian who sit so many places above them in the table. In that game they had 43% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Hibernian who had 4 attempts and 2 on target.
Having scored just 0 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager David Martindale where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. Hoever, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 8 in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games, and this season overall, they have failed to score in 9 of their 15 games.
Serious concerns will be mounting for Livi, having gone without a win in their last 7 league games and lost the last 7 in a row.
Kilmarnock, Recent FormKilmarnock will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 home win against Celtic. They came away from that fixture with a 32% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Celtic, who managed 16 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
Although they have only shipped 3 goals in their past 6 matches, they have taken a relatively modest return of points from those games, primarily due to an indifferent return at the other end with 4 goals netted in those 6 matches. When playing away from home, they have scored in 4 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 8 away games.
David Watson has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Livingston.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Kilmarnock running out winners in a match that ended 3-1.
Livingston have scored in each of their last 6 games at home in the league against Killie.
Kilmarnock has won the last 2 games they've played against Livingston in the league.
Kyle Vassell has scored in each of Kilmarnock's last league game against Livingston.
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.
With only Innes Cameron (Hamstring) and Kyle Magennis (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Derek McInnes will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
