History of the Livingston v Aberdeen fixture

Livingston prepare to entertain Aberdeen at Almondvale on Saturday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Half of the previous meetings have ended in defeat for Livi Lions.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Almondvale was less than a year ago, in April 2003, with Aberdeen inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Livi Lions in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Livingston have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 in the wrong end.

Aberdeen's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Dons have hit 8 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Livingston's 21 points from 17 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position. Aberdeen are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 15 points from 17 matches.
