Aberdeen vs Livingston Prediction: Struggling sides have high chances here

On Wednesday evening, Aberdeen will host Livingston, aiming to recover from their Scottish League Cup defeat against Rangers. Currently positioned in 10th place in the Scottish Premiership standings, Aberdeen faces Livingston, who are at the bottom, trailing by five points from safety.

Aberdeen will be eager to avoid a repeat of their recent outcome, having suffered a 1-0 loss to Rangers in their previous League Cup match. During that game, Aberdeen held 40% possession and made 9 attempts at goal, with only 1 on target. In contrast, Rangers recorded 17 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, and James Tavernier (76') scored the decisive goal.

Under Barry Robson's management, Aberdeen has scored a total of 6 goals in their last six matches, while conceding an equal number. Looking ahead to this upcoming fixture, Aberdeen has not been defeated in their last 2 league encounters with Livingston.

Last time out, Livingston drew 0-0 in the Premiership tie with Kilmarnock.

In that particular match, Livingston held 48% possession and made 8 attempts at goal, with only 1 on target. On the opposing side, Kilmarnock registered 11 attempts on goal, with 3 on target. Livingston's recent matches have tended to be somewhat uneventful, characterized by a lack of sharpness rather than a surplus of goal-scoring opportunities. Over their last six games, a mere 6 goals have been scored in total, resulting in an average of 1 goal per match when considering both Livingston and their opponents.

Looking ahead to the upcoming fixture, Livingston has not secured a win against Aberdeen in their last 2 away league games against them. Furthermore, the visitors have not won any of their last 6 away matches in the league.

Despite the potential fatigue from the quick turnaround, Aberdeen may benefit from the opportunity to bounce back promptly. Considering this, we believe the home team has the potential to secure a victory by a narrow margin, with the scoreline favoring them by the odd goal in three. Additionally, both teams are anticipated to score in this fixture.
