Partick Thistle v Livingston

📅

Kick Off: Tuesday 13th May at 19:45

🏆

Competition: Scottish Premiership Play-Offs

  • Partick Thistle have already played out two draws at home to Livingston this season.

  • Under 2.5 Goals landed in each of the four league meetings between the pair during the regular season.

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

  • Brian Graham scored his 99th and 100th goals for Partick Thistle last Friday night.

Partick Thistle and Livingston will lock horns in the first leg of their Scottish Premiership play-off semi-final tie on Tuesday night. 

Thistle set up this clash thanks to a 2-1 aggregate win over Ayr, while Livingston are now entering the play-offs after placing second in the Scottish Championship table.

After finishing 15 points above Partick during the regular season, Livingston are 1.85 favourites. Meanwhile, the Over/Under 2.5 goals line points towards a low-scoring affair, with unders favoured at 1.7.

Livingston should be the fresher of the pair having not played since the beginning of the month.


Partick Thistle v Livingston Predictions and Best Bets

While Partick produced an impressive performance to overturn a one-goal deficit at Ayr on Friday, the quick turnaround they face suggests there is value in siding with Livingston at 1.85. Thistle look to be running on empty ahead of what will be their 4th match in the space of 11 days. With injuries also starting to take their toll, Livingston look well placed to pick apart the bones of their leg-weary hosts.

As for the Over 2.5 Goals or Under 2.5 Goals line, Livingston’s conservative play suggests a tight affair, so goals could be at a premium.

🔴 Thistle in decent form

Partick come into this showdown in decent form having lost just one of their last five matches, winning three of those. The only blot on their copybook was last week’s 1-0 loss at home to Ayr, though Thistle rallied to recover from that setback to claim a well-deserved 2-0 win in Friday’s return match.

Goals have been in short supply at Firhill lately, with five of Partick’s last seven home matches featuring two match goals or fewer. 

Brian Graham - who was the Scottish Championship’s leading marksman this season - netted his 99th and 100th goals for Thistle last Friday night.


Livingston looking to lift themselves

Livingston endured heartbreak on the final day of the regular season as Falkirk pipped them to the title by just three points. However, David Martindale’s side won four of their final five league games of the season to ensure the fight for automatic promotion went down to the wire. 

Livingston’s shortcomings in the title race can be attributed to their struggles to turn draws into victories, with only Morton (12) drawing more games than the Lions (10) during the regular season.

Livingston boasted the best defensive record in this season’s Scottish Championship, conceding just 27 goals across their 36 matches.


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

There was nothing to separate the pair during the regular season, so this tie could be more even than the 15-point gap suggests. Across their four league matches this season, the pair each claimed a victory, while the points were shared on two occasions - both of which were at this venue. 

Partick will be hoping that their 1-0 win over Livingston on the final day of the league season could provide them with a psychological edge coming into this first leg.

It’s also worth noting that each of the duo’s previous four meetings this season featured Under 2.5 Goals.
