Recent respective form guides

Airdrie United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Diamonds have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Livingston's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Livi's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 6 against.

Airdrie Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 7 points from 11 matches. Livingston's 17 points from 11 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
