History of the Livingston v Forfar Athletic fixture

Livingston prepare to entertain Forfar Athletic at Almondvale Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Livi are clearly on top, having won 16 and lost only 3 of the 28 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Almondvale Stadium was just last season, in August 2008, the Livi carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish Challenge Cup match.
