Livingston 0-0 Aberdeen - Premiership 2023/2024 Statistical Preview

Davie Martindale named three changes to the Livingston team that lost 3-0 to Hibernian at Easter Road before the international break, but were swept aside by Celtic 3-0 in West Lothian at the weekend.
Cristian Montaño made way for club captain Mikey Devlin to return in defence. The skipper joined Jamie Brandon, Ayo Obileye and the incoming Michael Nottingham - who replaced David Carson - in defence.
Jason Holt and Sean Kelly sat in front of the back four. Scott Pittman took Joel Nouble's spot to join Stephen Kelly and Steven Bradley in support of lone striker Tete Yengi as Livi lost to Celtic on Sunday.

Interim Aberdeen boss Peter Leven named just one change to the Dons team that beat Motherwell at Fir Park 1-0 before the international break, as they clinched back-to-back league victories with a 2-1 success over Ross County at the weekend.
Kelle Roos continued in goal behind the incoming Richard Jensen - who replaced Angus MacDonald - as the Finn joined Jack MacKenzie, Stefan Gartenmann and Nicky Devlin in the back four.
Graeme Shinnie and Connor Barron continued in front of the Dons' defence. Junior Hoilett and weekend matchwinner Jamie McGrath were joined by Leighton Clarkson, supporting lone striker Bojan Miovski who ended a month's wait for a goal against the Staggies on Saturday.

Prediction

Bottom of the pile Livingston take on ninth-placed Aberdeen this weekend in the Scottish Premiership, with both teams searching for three points on Saturday.
Time is running out for Livingston, who have lost seven of their last eleven home matches in the Scottish Premiership, as they can't shift from bottom spot in the league table. The Lions held Aberdeen in a goalless draw on the opening day, and gave them a scare by taking the lead at Pittodrie in December, so now would be an ideal time for a first win against the Dons this season.
Aberdeen won back-to-back Scottish Premiership matches for the first time since December, and on a third occasion this season, after beating Ross County at Pittodrie last Saturday. The Dons were winless in six home league games before success over the Staggies, last going longer without a win on their own patch in the league between October 2002 and February 2003 (9 games).
Despite their previous league trip to Livingston this season ending goalless, Aberdeen should have what it takes to clinch a third successive Scottish Premiership victory and add to Livi's fears of the dreaded drop this weekend.
