This prediction is bolstered by their recent form and Aberdeen's struggles on the road.
Livingston FC enters this match following a commendable 2-0 away victory over St Mirren at SMISA Stadium. Despite having only 37% possession and two shots on target, goals from Alexandros Gogic (an own goal) and Scott Pittman sealed the win for The Lions. This result will undoubtedly boost their confidence heading into the clash with Aberdeen.
Conversely, Aberdeen FC secured a narrow 1-0 home win against Kilmarnock at Pittodrie Stadium in their last outing, with Afeez Aremu scoring the decisive goal.
