Livingston vs Aberdeen Prediction: Aberdeen are in pole position here

Livingston's battle to avoid relegation in the Scottish Premiership intensifies this Saturday as they welcome Aberdeen. While Livi🌊ngston strives to climb out of the relegation zone, Aberdeen aims to secure a place in the top half of the table before the division splits next weekend.

Livingston will be eager to bounce back after a 0-3 defeat against Celtic in their last Premiership game. They had limited possession at 24% and managed 5 shots on goal, with only 1 on target. Unfortunately, Jamie Brandon's own goal (49') was the only goal for Livingston, while Celtic had a strong performance with 21 attempts on goal and 10 on target, resulting in goals from Paulo Bernardo (72') and Matt O'Riley (82').

In their recent fixtures, Livingston has seen three or more goals scored in 5🐽 of their last 6 games, with opposing teams scorin🌊g 17 goals while Livingston managed to score 6. Looking at their previous encounters, Livingston hasn't defeated Aberdeen in their last 3 league matches and also hasn't secured a home win in their last 2 league matches.

Aberdeen enters this match on the back of a 2-1 victory against Ross County in the Premiership. They maintained 50% possession and made 10 attempts on goal, with 4 shots on target. Bojan Miovski (5') and Jamie McGrath (78') were the scorers for Aberdeen, while Simon Murray (26') found the net for Ross County from their 10 attempts, with 3 shots on target.

Analyzing their recent performances, Aberdeen has conceded in 5 of their last 6 games, allowing a total of 7 goals from opposing teams. This indicates some defensive vulnerabilities that they need to address. Furthermౠore, Aberdeen hasn't won any of their last 3 away matches against Livingston in the league, highlighting a challenging away record against Livingston.

Livingston Possible Starting Lineup:

George; Brandon, Obileye, Sean Kelly, Montano; Bradley,🌱 Carson, Holt, Noubl🔜e; Stephen Kelly; Yengi

Aberdeen Possible Starting Lineup:

Roos; Devlin, Gartenmann, MacDonald, McKenzie; Baꦅrron, Shinnie; McGrath, Clarkson, Hoilett; 🌼Miovski

Livingston's home performances have been disappointing, lacking the seriousness needed to secure consistent results. On the other hand, Aberdeen, despite a significant defeat against Celtic last weekend, displayed character and potential. With a stronger squad and quality of play, Aberdeen is favored to perform well in this match. However, I anticipate Livingston to at least♋ score at home, which could provide some consolation amidst their challenges.
