Ross County v Livingston

🗓️

Kick Off: Monday 26th May at 20:00

🏆

Competition: Scottish Premiership

  • Both meetings between the two teams this season have been level after 90 minutes.

  • Livingston have lost just one of their last six matches against Ross County.

  • Ronan Hale has scored in each of Ross County’s previous two meetings with Livingston this season.

  • Danny Wilson has scored in two of Livingston’s last three matches.

Ross County and Livingston will reconvene for the second leg of their Scottish Premiership play-off final on Monday.

This tie is delicately poised after Ross County scored a stoppage time penalty to claim a 1-1 draw in Thursday night’s first leg. 

The pre-match odds suggest Ross County will finish the job on Monday, with the hosts priced up as the 2.5 favourites, while Livingston are marginal outsiders at 2.75. A repeat of Thursday night’s stalemate is trading at 3.3.

Meanwhile, the Over/Under 2.5 goal line points towards another tight affair, with under favoured at 1.8.

Livingston’s play-off outings have proven particularly low-scoring, with each of their three ties featuring Under 2.5 Goals. Likewise, each of Ross County’s last three games have produced Under 2.5 Goals. With so much at stake on Monday night, another cagey encounter is expected.

While goals could be in short supply, Livingston look more than capable of landing a blow on a Ross County backline that are without a clean sheet in their last 10 matches. Livingston have scored at least once in 10 of their last 12 outings, making them an appealing option to strike at 1.30.


🔵 Ross County Seeking Overdue Victory

Ross County’s 1-1 draw with Livingston on Thursday night extended their winless run to 10 matches. However, the Staggies are now unbeaten in three matches having played out a trio of 1-1 draws.  

Ross County collected the majority of their Scottish Premiership points at home this season, avoiding defeat in 11 of their 19 matches in Dingwall.

Don Cowie's side racked up no fewer than 10 corners during Thursday night’s first leg. County could deliver another high corner count on Monday night given that Livingston’s style tends to be pragmatic, often sitting deep and looking to frustrate their opponents.


🟡 Livingston a Tough Nut to Crack

While Livingston will have been disappointed to have conceded a late equaliser on Thursday night, they more than held their own and showed just how tough a nut they are to crack. In fact, David Martindale’s men will consider themselves unlucky not to have won the first leg, having enjoyed 55% possession and winning the shot count 11-7.

Livingston can also draw confidence from the fact that they have lost just three of their last 24 matches across all competitions.

It’s also worth pointing out that Livingston have not conceded a goal from open play across their previous three matches.


📊 Ross County v Livingston Head-to-Head Key Stats

Ross County have found wins against Livingston hard to come by in recent seasons. The two teams have crossed paths six times across the last two campaigns, with County claiming top honours just once. 

There has been nothing to separate the two teams in each of this season’s two meetings to date, with both matches ending all square inside 90 minutes. However, it’s worth noting that Livingston defeated Ross County 3-2 after extra-time in this season’s Scottish Cup. With all things considered, everything points towards the duo pushing each other to their limits again on Monday night.
