Airdrie Utd v Livingston

Airdrie vs Livingston Preview

Airdrie gained a point on the weekend in the Scottish Championship thanks to a 2-2 draw at home with Greenock Morton but this was not enough to lift the hosts off the bottom of the domestic second tier table and indeed, Airdrie now find themselves 10 points adrift of safety.

Livingston remain sitting in second place in the Scottish Championship table but the visitors have reduced Falkirk's lead at the top of the division to five points following a solid 2-0 home win against Partick Thistle on the weekend and the visitors will be looking for more of the same here on Tuesday night.

An opening day of the season 1-0 home win against Raith Rovers saw Airdrie off to a flying start to this current Scottish Championship campaign but that has been as good as it has got for the upcoming hosts who have failed to win any of their subsequent 15 matches since.

Within this miserable looking 15-game slump, Airdrie have managed to pick up three draws but have also been handed a total of 12 defeats which have condemned Rhys McCabe's side to the bottom of the Scottish Championship table.

There's still a long way to go but current form suggests Airdrie could already be fighting a losing battle against relegation after failing to win any of their last six home games, slipping to four defeats in the process.

Livingston by contrast extended their unbeaten run in the Championship to five games overall after recording a 2-0 home win against Partick Thistle and the visitors will be keen to replicate that result at the Albert Bartlett Stadium on Tuesday night.

The visitors have been dealt just the single defeat within their total of 16 matches played to date this term which came in the form of a heavy 3-0 loss at home to Dunfermline Athletic but this has been Livi's only slip-up so far.

Within these 16 games, Livingston have collected nine wins and six draws and David Martindale's side have registered wins on the road at Raith Rovers, Ayr United and Hamilton Academical so far this term and given Airdrie' poor form right now, the visitors will be eyeing off another three points on Tuesday night.

The bigger picture shows Livingston have slipped to just three defeats in their previous 18 outings on the road in the Scottish Championship along with collecting eight wins, so Livi look the more likely to find a way to collect the maximum points at the Albert Bartlett Stadium.
