Livingston have won more often in the same period, nine victories from twenty, but they've also lost six and shipped twenty-one goals. They can be entertaining, but they're not the tightest side defensively.

Partick's habit of drawing tight games could make this one hard for Livingston to break open.

Comparative Team Statistics: Livingston vs Partick

Recent head-to-head meetings

The last two meetings have gone Partick's way or ended level. Partick won 2-0 away back in August, and before that the sides drew 1-1 in the League Cup. Further back, results have swung between both clubs, including a couple of Partick away wins last season, so there's no long-standing dominance either way in the bigger picture.

Partick have had the edge in the most recent meetings, but history overall is fairly even.

Where they sit in the Championship

Seven games into the league season, Partick are third with twelve points, while Livingston sit fifth with ten. Partick have scored only five goals but conceded just two, underlining how defensively disciplined they've been. Livingston's numbers are more even, ten scored and seven against, which fits their more open recent form.

How this one could unfold

Livingston's home form has been patchy this season, and if Partick bring their usual defensive discipline, this could easily turn into a cagey, low-scoring affair. Livingston will need to be braver in possession than they have been in some recent matches if they want to unlock a side that's conceded so little.

Equally, Partick's own goal tally has been modest, so they may not carry much of a threat themselves if Livingston manage to keep things solid at the back for once.
