History of the Livingston v Aberdeen fixture

Livingston prepare to entertain Aberdeen at Almondvale Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 6 previous games, with the Livi Lions winning just 1.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Almondvale Stadium was earlier this season, the Livi Lions carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish F.A. Cup match.

Livingston have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The Livi Lions's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Livingston see themselves just below half way in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier, showing a record of 36 points from their 33 games played so far, Aberdeen are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 34 points from 33 matches.
