Partick Thistle vs Livingston Predictions

• Partick lost only twice at home in the league this term
• The hosts went unbeaten across 10 meetings with the top six at home
• Livingston conceded two-thirds of their goals against on the road
• The visitors lost at home to Partick on the final day when pushing for the title

Can Partick continue their playoff run?

The Scottish Championship playoffs continue on Tuesday night, as Livingston return to action following an 11-day break. The visitors sat out as the third and fourth-placed sides in the division faced off, with Partick upsetting Ayr United to progress to the second-round.

Partick finished eight points behind Ayr and they booked their playoff spot on the final day with a 1-0 at Livingston. The winner of this clash will go on to play the second-bottom side in the Scottish Premiership next, with Livingston heavy favourites to feature after pushing title-winners Falkirk to the final day.

However, Partick dented Livingston’s title hopes and they avoided defeat in three of the four meetings between the sides this term. The hosts had an impressive home record against the league’s stronger sides, going unbeaten in 10 clashes with the top six.

The hosts lost only two of their 18 home games across the campaign, while they conceded less than a goal per game at their own ground. Livingston conceded 18 of their 27 goals against in their away trips, which contributed to them failing to win 10 of their 18 matches on the road.

Partick have proven they can excel without the ball, so back home advantage to help them to claim a result against Livingston in this first-leg.
