Livingston v Partick

Livingston vs Partick Preview

Friday night also brings us a top four clash in the Scottish Championship between second placed Livingston and their fourth placed Partick Thistle when the two teams prepare to do battle at the Home of the Set Fare Arena with Livingston looking to extend their unbeaten run to five games, while Partick Thistle will be seeking a ninth game without defeat in the Scottish second tier.

Livingston have picked up points by way of stalemates with Queen's Park and Greenock Morton but the hosts have also collected important wins against the likes of Hamilton Academical and Falkirk as well, and the hosts will be searching for all three points here on Friday night as they look to reduce the current eight-point deficit between themselves and the league leaders, Falkirk.

The hosts have suffered just the single defeat in what has been a solid and consistent campaign so far in the Scottish Championship, and this was dealt out to David Martindale's side on their travels while the hosts still remain unbeaten on home soil.

Livingston have collected a total of eight wins so far in this season's campaign, five of which have been registered on home soil at their Home of the Set Fare Arena with victories chalked up against Dunfermline Athletic, Hamilton Academical, Airdrieonians, Raith Rovers and most impressive of all, a 1-0 home win against Falkirk.

Partick Thistle will be seeking a third league win on the trot in this Friday night's tussle against Livingston in the Scottish Championship after posting back-to-back home wins against Hamilton Academical and Ayr United respectively.

The visitors actually bring a decent looking eight-match unbeaten sequence into this clash at the Home of the Set Fare Arena which includes picking up five wins in the process, but only two of these five victories have been collected on their travels.

Wins on the road at Queen's Park and Dunfermline Athletic should nevertheless give The Jags plenty of belief and confidence especially as the visitors have suffered just one defeat in their last 12 league matches overall.

Partick Thistle had made a slow and disappointing start to this Championship campaign as the visitors had been dealt two defeats within their opening three games following losses at the hands of Raith Rovers and Falkirk, both of which were away from home.

The bigger picture shows Partick Thistle have managed to collect just three wins from their previous 16 outings on the road in the Scottish Championship.

Livingston v Partick Thistle Verdict

Livingston hold a decent record in recent times against Partick Thistle as the hosts have won four out of the last five meetings and with home advantage behind them here, Livingston look the more likely to take the spoils.
