Recent respective form guides

Partick Thistle's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Jags have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.

Livingston's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Livi have hit 11 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Partick Th. are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 52 points from 33 games. Livingston's 45 points from 33 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
