Livingston vs Inverness Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Under 2.5 goals at 7/10 – ★★☆

1-1 draw at 6/1  – ★☆☆

• Livingston are unbeaten in seven consecutive competitive matches.
• Each of the last four H2Hs at this venue produced under 2.5 total goals.
• Four of Inverness’ last six competitive games produced under 2.5 goals.

A tight encounter at the Tony Macaroni Arena

While Livingston’s season opener saw them win a five-goal thriller against League Two opponents, this clash against Championship opponents Inverness could be a much tighter encounter. 

The hosts played out a bottom-half finish in the top-flight last term while Inverness were only denied promotion in the play-off final, so there may be less between these sides than the gulf in tiers suggests.

Clashes between these sides in recent times have been close run affairs with each of the last four meetings producing two or fewer goals and it is the Championship side Livingston who did not lose a single game during that sequence (W2, D2), so it could pay to avoid blindly backing the Premiership side in this encounter.

A possible penalty shootout

Given that both sides won their opener by a single goal and the seemingly miniscule gulf in class between the sides, we are going for an under 2.5 goals selection for our main prediction. As for the correct score, we predict that Inverness may frustrate Livingston and eventually play out a 1-1 draw, leaving it up to the penalty takers to decide where the points end up.
