It’s back to Fir Park on league business on Saturday as Motherwell host Livingston.

Here’s the game previewed in numbers.

Five

The number of games Livingston are currently unbeaten, having won four and drawn one of their last five fixtures.

Home wins over Hamilton, Hibernian and Rangers were accompanied by an away win at St Mirren and a goalless draw at Hearts.

Gary Holt’s side also posted four clean sheets in those games, conceding only once against Hibs.

Livingston exited Scottish football’s top flight in 2006, after a five-year stint in which they finished third in the SPL, reached the UEFA Cup and won the League Cup.

Since then they’ve endured administrations, relegations and the odd success along the way. Their play-off win over Partick Thistle in May ended their exile, having had to work their way back up from the bottom tier.

The year 2004 was the last time Livi earned a win over the Steelmen with a 3-1 victory in West Lothian.

Since then, the two sides have met 10 times competitively. Motherwell have won nine, with one draw at Almondvale.

33

In the 20 matches played between the two teams, Motherwell have netted on 33 occasions.

Fourteen of those goals have come at Fir Park, while 19 came away. Livingston, meanwhile, have scored 27, with 16 coming at home and 11 away.

Stephen Robinson speaks as Motherwell prepare to face Livingston in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

And following a tough run of games, the manager is keen to shift momentum at Fir Park.

“We’re well aware that we need to turn things around,” he said. “I’m very confident that this group of players will.”

Motherwell host Livingston in the Ladbrokes Premiership for the first league meeting between the two sides since May 2006. 

And after making a strong start to the campaign, Saturday’s opponents arrive at Fir Park brimming with confidence.

Unbeaten run

Since the Betfred Cup clash between ‘Well and Livi back in August, the newly promoted side have gone unbeaten.

In the five matches that followed their 1-0 defeat at the hands of Stephen Robinson’s men, Livingston have defeated Hibernian, Rangers, St Mirren and Hamilton, as well as drawing with table toppers Hearts.

Collecting clean sheets

In their 12 games this term, Livingston have only conceded in four games, keeping an impressive eight clean sheets.

Equally impressive is the fact that their heaviest defeat this season came against last seasons champions Celtic, who won 3-1 in Parkhead.

Share of goals

Saturday’s opposition have scored seven goals in the top flight this term, the same total as Stephen Robinson’s side.

However, their top scorer this season is a share of seven players, with the likes of Steven Lawless, Jack Hamilton and Alan Lithgow all bagging important goals for Gary Holt’s side.

Motherwell’s first trip of the 2018/19 Ladbrokes Premiership season to Celtic will now take place on Wednesday, 19 December.

The original fixture between the two clubs, the first since the 2017/18 William Hill Scottish Cup final, was due to take place on Sunday, 28 October. It was postponed due to Celtic’s participation in the Betfred Cup semi-finals.

The visit to Celtic Park will kick off at 7.45pm. Ticket information will be announced shortly.
