Motherwell looks to continue pressuring the top-3 teams with a win over last-placed Livingston in Round 24 of the Scottish Premiership. Can The Well make it 3-in-3 against Livingston? Or will we see The Lions roar back to life with a rate victory over Motherwell? Let's get into this match prediction.
Abysmal can't even begin to describe the season Livingston is having. Since they beat Kilmarnock in August, Livi has failed to win a single game, essentially going winless since the first months of the 2025-26 campaign. That's a staggering 21 games without a victory.
Now, The Lions are tasked with beating Motherwell, who are responsible for 14 of their defeats in that 21-game span. And that order couldn't have come at a worse time, considering that Motherwell is in impeccable form at the moment. The Well just beat Kilmarnock 4-0, making it four victories in its last six games (all with clean sheets).
In fact, Motherwell have only lost one of their last 15 games, and that was to the now second-placed Rangers. In truth, the odds are stacked against the home side. But a silver lining for Livi is Motherwell’s underwhelming away form, which has seen them fail to win in nine of their 11 road games all season.
