Livingston vs Ross County Predictions


An in-form Livingston will be determined to build a first-leg lead ahead of Sunday's trip to the Highlands.

A home win is my best bet at the Home of the Set Fare Arena.

Stats


  • Livingston won 6 of their last 7 matches
  • Livingston won 4 of their last 5 home matches
  • Livingston won 7 of their last 10 home matches against Ross County
  • Ross County lost 7 of their last 9 matches
  • Ross County lost 5 of their last 6 away matches

H2H


Livingston and Ross County have met on 20 occasions since 2012. Livingston won 11 of those games while County claimed four victories. 

Livingston Form


Livingston come into Thursday's Premiership playoff in high spirits after a comfortable 4-0 aggregate victory against Partick last week. The Lions scored back-to-back 2-0 wins to secure their place in this week's promotion shootout. 

David Martindale's side have enjoyed a strong run of form in the final weeks of the season, securing eight wins while losing just two of their last 11 matches.

A strong defence has been the cornerstone of recent Livi success. The hosts kept clean sheets in seven of their last ten games, including four of their last five at the Home of the Set Fare Arena.

Livingston Team News


Head coach Martindale has a fully fit squad to choose from this week. Cristian Montero, Robbie Muirhead and Lewis Smith are likely to lead the Livi attack, with Martindale tipped to retain confidence in the same XI that dispatched Partick. 

Ross County Form


Ross County make the trip to Livingston now winless in nine matches after a 1-1 draw against Motherwell in the final of the Premiership season. Despite leading for much of the 90 minutes, the Staggies were forced to settle for a point in Dingwall.

A poor run of form at the end of the season proved costly for Don Cowie's side. County picked up just two points since a 1-0 win against Kilmarnock at the start of March.

On the road, the Staggies have struggled, claiming just one point from their last six away fixtures. 

Ross County Team News


Head coach Cowie has a handful of expected absentees this week. Aidan Denholm, Noah Chilvers, Ross Laidlaw, Ryan Leak and Scott Allardice remain sidelined with various injury issues.

In-form forward Ronan Hale will continue to spearhead the Staggies' attack this week. 

Verdict

Home advantage should prove the difference in Thursday's first leg.

I'm backing Livingston to claim victory at the Home of the Set Fare Arena.
