Stenhousemuir host Livingston in the Scottish Championship. Stenhousemuir have been enjoying a strong campaign while Livingston's results have been a bit more mixed.
Livingston are being backed as favourites here, even though Stenhousemuir currently sit above them in the table. That contrast is worth getting into before we look at the two teams' recent matches.

Where to place this bet
Form going into this one
Stenhousemuir's form has been decent as the season has gone on, but their last three matches have tailed off, with defeats either side of a draw. Before that dip they'd strung together a solid run of wins through August and September.

Livingston's form over the same stretch has swung about more. They've mixed home wins with away defeats, and their away form in particular has been patchy, with just one win in the five away Championship fixtures we've got on record.
Livingston's away form looks shakier than Stenhousemuir's overall record.
Comparative Team Statistics: Stenhousemuir vs Livingston
What's happened between them lately
The two sides have already met twice this season. Stenhousemuir won 1-0 at Livingston's place in September, then the League Cup tie between them back in July finished goalless.

Older meetings tell a different story, with Livingston winning more comfortably in previous cup ties, including a 3-1 win in 2023 and a 4-0 win in 2020. That history is a few years old now though, and it says little about either side's current form.
Where they sit in the table
Stenhousemuir currently top the Championship table and have the best defensive record of the two sides here. Livingston sit in mid-table, some way back on points.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Stenhousemuir | 10 | 7 | 2 | 1 | 13/5 | 23 |
| 2 | Raith Rovers | 11 | 6 | 3 | 2 | 16/7 | 21 |
| 3 | Partick | 10 | 6 | 3 | 1 | 11/3 | 21 |
| 4 | Inverness CT | 11 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 14/11 | 16 |
| 5 | Livingston | 11 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 14/11 | 14 |
| 6 | Dunfermline | 9 | 3 | 5 | 1 | 7/5 | 14 |
That gap in the table is a real one at this stage of the season, even allowing for Livingston having played an extra match.
The table currently favours Stenhousemuir by some distance.
Table position versus market price
Despite leading the division, Stenhousemuir aren't being backed as favourites here. Livingston are the shorter price, which looks to be more about recent scoring form than where either side actually sits in the table.
Livingston's away form has been inconsistent though, as we've seen, so backing them purely on reputation carries some risk of its own.

Putting the table position, the head-to-head results and Livingston's patchy away form together, there's a reasonable case for Stenhousemuir not losing this by more than a goal.
It's not a banker given the dip in Stenhousemuir's recent form and how strongly Livingston are being backed, but the handicap line offers some cover either way.
