Motherwell will be looking for more of the same when Livingston come to visit Fir Park on Boxing Day after the hosts recorded a recent solid 2-0 home win over St Johnstone last time out in the Scottish Premiership.
That welcome three points not only ended two games without a win for Motherwell but it also helped lift the hosts up into 4th spot prior to the upcoming busy Christmas and New Year schedule.
After losing four out of five league matches during, Motherwell have staged something of a comeback as they’ve won four of their subsequent seven games and ‘Well will be confident of a result against Livingston in this encounter as well.
Livingston also have reason to be upbeat about their chances on Boxing Day as the visitors bring a three-match unbeaten run into this clash while the bigger picture shows that the visitors have lost just three of their last 11 matches overall.
Conversely, Livingston have captured just four wins during this period along with being held to four draws and wins on the road have been hard to come by for the visitors as well, as they’ve managed just three wins from their last 16 outings.
In addition, Livingston have failed to score in nine of these 16 away games whilst keeping just five clean sheets in the process so they may have their work cut out against a fairly consistent Motherwell outfit.
Livingston have found Motherwell tricky opponents in recent previous exchanges as they’ve failed to beat their hosts in each of the last four meetings, losing the last three encounters on the trot.
The Betting Verdict
Motherwell therefore look the more likely for the points here.
The Pick :
Motherwell 2 Livingston 1
