Livingston sit 3rd in the Championship on 13 points from 8 matches, having scored 12 and conceded 7. On the model's scale they rate 0.54 in attack and 1.96 in defence (1.00 = an average top-flight side, lower defence is better), against Championship averages of 0.47 and 2.12: above the division's average in attack, about average at the back. Across their last 5 league matches they have 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats, most recently beating Raith Rovers 2-0 away. That is 1.63 points a match, scoring 1.50 and conceding 0.88 per game across 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That leaves them 9 points behind Stenhousemuir at the top, in a table of 10. Among the 10 rated sides in the division that is the 2nd-best attack and the 5th-best defence. They scored in 3 of those 5 and kept 1 clean sheet. Next they host Ayr Utd in the Championship on 3 October 2026, a match the model gives them 55%.
