Footymad preview History of the Livingston v Falkirk fixture

Livingston prepare to entertain Falkirk at Almondvale on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 5 of the 21 games played, and losing 12.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Almondvale was less than a year ago, in January 2012, with Falkirk inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Livi in a Scottish Division One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Livingston, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. No-score draw
