Livingston FC face a key Championship test away to Partick Thistle this Saturday, 10 October. The Lions are looking to respond after a 1-2 home loss to Ayr United last weekend.
That defeat at the Tony Macaroni Arena saw Robbie Muirhead score a penalty, but goals from Oisin Stirton and Lewis McBeth secured the points for the visitors. The result left Livingston fourth in the Championship standings with 13 points from nine games. Their recent form has been mixed, with two wins, a draw and two losses in their last five outings. The team's next fixture is a key one, as they aim to close the nine-point gap to leaders Stenhousemuir and solidify their own top-four position.
The last starting lineup against Ayr United featured J. Prior in goal, with a back four of J. Doherty, Brooklyn Kabongolo, R. McGowan and C. Montaño. The midfield trio was S. Pittman, E. Danso and C. Palmer, supporting a front three of T. Sinclair, R. Muirhead and B. van Hoeven. The full details of the senior squad are available on the club's squad page.
Partick Thistle, who currently sit third, present a significant challenge. Their last outing was a victory over Arbroath, with a lineup that included L. Budinauckas in goal and a midfield anchored by B. Dempsey and O. Smyth. The Jags won the last meeting between these sides 2-0 back in August. Partick's recent form has been strong, with three wins and a draw in their last five matches, putting them just ahead of Livingston in the table.
Livingston’s recent results include a 2-0 win at Raith Rovers and a 4-1 victory at Morton, showing their capability on the road. The squad will be looking to Muirhead, who has scored three goals in the last two games, to provide the attacking threat.
