• Robbie Muirhead has scored in two of his last four appearances against Partick Thistle.

• Partick Thistle defeated Livingston 1-0 on the final day of the regular season.

Livingston and Partick Thistle reconvene for the second leg of their Scottish Premiership play-off semi-final tie on Friday.

Livingston claimed a 2-0 win at Firhill on Tuesday night and are now clearly in the driving seat to reach the final. The Lions were worthy winners of the first leg, registering eight on-target efforts to Partick’s one.

Livingston are expected to finish the job on Friday night, with a home win priced up at 1.73.  As for the Over/Under 2.5 goals line, the odds suggest another low-scoring affair could be in store, with unders favoured at 1.85.

⭐ Livingston v Partick Thistle Predictions and Best Bets

While Livingston don’t necessarily have to win on Friday, they look well placed to do so at 1.73. David Martindale’s side are unlikely to rest on their laurels as they look to build momentum in their push for promotion.  As for Partick, their hectic schedule is starting to take its toll, which doesn't bode well given that they finished 15 points behind Livingston during the regular season.

Under 2.5 Goals has landed in each of the previous five meetings between the pair this season, giving us a great value option for supporting a repeat on Friday night.

⚫ Livingston Looking Sharp

Livingston come into this week’s second leg having won five of their last six matches. The Lions’ recent form is made all the more impressive by the fact that they kept a clean sheet in four of those five victories. In fact, Livingston boasted the best defensive record in the Scottish Championship this season, conceding just 9 goals across their 18 league games in front of their own supporters.

However, it is worth noting Livingston’s only defeat across the aforementioned six-game sequence was a 1-0 loss at home to Partick Thistle on the final day of the league campaign.

🔴 Thistle Facing Uphill Battle

While Partick can draw confidence from their victory at this venue earlier this month, repeating the trick will be a tall order. There are clear signs of fatigue in the Thistle ranks as they gear up for what will be their 5th match in 14 days. Consequently, injuries have started to pile up, with key defensive duo Lee Ashcroft and Luke McBeth both forced off during Tuesday's first leg.

The fact, Thistle only managed to score 2+ goals in four of their 18 Scottish Championship away games this season would further suggest that this might be a bridge too far.

📊 Livingston v Partick Thistle Head-to-Head Key Stats

While fine margins have separated the pair, Livingston’s victory on Tuesday night means that they now hold the upper hand in terms of this season’s overall head-to-head record. David Martindale’s side have triumphed in two of the five meetings between the teams this term, losing once, while the points were shared on two occasions - both of which were at Firhill.

It’s also worth noting that Partick Thistle failed to register a single shot on target during their 1-0 success against Livingston on the final day of the league campaign, with an own goal proving decisive in that particular clash.
