Livingston, Recent FormLivingston manager David Martindale will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 4-1 away defeat by Motherwell. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 4 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Motherwell, who had 12 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Having lost 14 goals in their past 6 matches, Martindale 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 5 goals they scored. This season they have failed to score in 9 of their 17 home games and conceded at least one goal in 28 of their 35 games overall.
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. Their results in the league have been very poor so far this season, with only 4 wins from their 35 matches.
St Johnstone, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by Aberdeen will have left the St Johnstone squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they had 35% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Aberdeen who had 15 attempts and 6 on target.
With 5 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 12 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Recent form is something they will be looking to turn around, having recorded 5 defeats from their last 6 matches.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Livingston have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Saints in each of their previous 3 meetings at The Tony Macaroni Arena.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 3 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Livingston hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings.
Livingston manager David Martindale has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jamie Brandon (Cruciate ligament), Daniel Mackay (Ankle), Cristian Montaño (Hamstring), James Penrice (Hip) and Andrew Shinnie (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Diallang Jaiyesimi (Knee) and Ross Sinclair (Arm) both unavailable and Sven Sprangler (Knee surgery) being out for the rest of the season, St Johnstone manager Craig Levein will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
