Ross County will hope to pick up from where they stopped when they host Livingston in the Scottish Premiership playoff return leg. The hosts scored a stoppage-time equalizer in the first leg at Livingston, the game ending 1-1. We are on to the second match, and below is our prediction.
Ross County finds themselves seeking to stay in the Premiership via this route for the third straight season. Ronan Hale’s 96th-minute penalty goal saved Ross County from defeat but not a 10th winless outing.
There will be a level of optimism, though, coming into the return leg as the Staggies won their last two playoff matches at home.
Livingston will head out more confident based on their recent form. In the last eight matches, they’ve only failed to win twice, one of those being a draw.
With this run, Livingston will be confident of securing a return to the Premiership at the first time of asking. Indeed, David Martindale’s men showed they can match Premiership opposition by their first-leg performance.
They finished second in the Championship, three points behind winners Falkirk. They also met Ross County in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup in January and won 3-2. After that win, Livingston went on an away run that had them lose just once in 10.

Our Ross County vs Livingston Prediction
A late penalty saved Ross County in the first leg. Were it not for that, the Staggies would have suffered a second straight defeat against Livingston. There are lessons to take home from that, and the Premiership side ought to understand by now that Livingston have the quality to trouble them.
A 10-match winless run will be the main concern for Ross County, and they’ve also struggled at home. Their visitors are on a good run, and it seems there won’t be a third time lucky in the playoffs. Our prediction for Ross County v Livingston is that Livingston wins the match.
