Following on from their previous result, Livingston will be hoping for more of the same after claiming a victory against St. Johnstone by a score of 2-4 in the Premiership. During that match, Livingston had 45% possession of the ball and 11 shots on goal, with 5 of those shots hitting the target. Stephen Kelly in the 8th and 15th minutes and James Penrice in the 39th and 81st minutes scored the goals for Livingston. On the other end of the field, St. Johnstone had 14 shots on goal, five of which were successful. St. Johnstone got goals from Jamie Murphy in the 65th minute and Connor McLennan in the 67th minute. In recent years, there have been few instances in which Livingston has demonstrated their defensive resolve. They should be concerned about the fact that Livingston's defense has been broken into in five of their last six matches, resulting in a total of 10 goals conceded over that span of play. Ahead of this encounter, Livingston have not been defeated in the league by Dundee United in any of their previous four matches.
