Motherwell vs Livingston Predictions

• Motherwell are unbeaten in seven of their ten home league games.
• Motherwell scored first in nine of their ten home league games.
• Only Celtic & Rangers picked up more home points than Motherwell.
• Livingston have not won in any of their last 11 visits to Motherwell.

Motherwell aim for a fourth straight home win

After consolidating their top-half place with a win last time out, Motherwell can now record back-to-back league wins for the first time since early November. Encouragingly, they have now won each of their last three home league games without conceding a goal in reply.

The hosts are often quickly away here at Fir Park as evidenced by their return of nine match openers this term. Interestingly, Motherwell failed to win a third of their home league games when taking a lead, though they shouldn’t worry about dropping a lead against Livingston, who saw just one side score in four of their last five games.

Livingston are a solid away outfit

The visitors are in a minority of Scottish Premiership sides who have picked up the majority of their points away from home. Moreover, Livingston are unbeaten in five of their last six away games, including a shock draw against 51-time Scottish Champions, Celtic.

Even with their rock-solid travelling form, they come up against a Motherwell side who have picked up more home points than all but the two dominant Glasgow sides. In fact, a considerable 69% of Motherwell’s points were won here, so they will not make this an easy afternoon for Livingston.

This looks like a tough game to call on the balance of form, given that Motherwell and Livingston are such good home and away sides, respectively. However, I predict that Motherwell can edge out a 2-1 victory at a value price to extend their dominance across the last 11 home H2Hs (W8, D3).
