Dundee come into this with the better recent home result, having beaten St. Mirren 1-0, but their wider league form has been mixed and they have not been scoring heavily. Livingston have been a bit more open in their recent games, with draws against Aberdeen and Hearts and a 2-0 win at St. Mirren, so they look capable of making this competitive. The head-to-head record also points to a tight contest, with the last two meetings both finishing 2-2.
With no xG data available, the safest read is that both sides may have spells without much control and the first goal could matter a lot. Dundee’s home advantage gives them a slight edge, but Livingston have shown enough to suggest they can stay in the game and threaten on the break. Match Prediction: Dundee 2-1 Livingston
Form Guide & Team Overview
Dundee
Dundee’s recent league form has been patchy, with one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five. The standout result is the 1-0 home win over St. Mirren, but that sits alongside a 0-3 loss at Dundee United and a 1-2 home defeat to Celtic.
They have also drawn 2-2 at Kilmarnock, which suggests they can compete in open games, but the overall pattern is of a side that has struggled for consistency. On that basis, Dundee look capable of scoring, yet they have not been reliable enough to be backed with much confidence on current form alone.

Livingston
Livingston’s recent league results are slightly stronger on paper, with one win, two draws and two defeats across their last five. The 2-0 away win at St. Mirren stands out, while the 2-2 draws with Aberdeen and Hearts show they have been able to stay in games against decent opposition.
That said, they have also lost 2-3 at Dundee United and 0-2 at Kilmarnock, so there is still some vulnerability in their results. Overall, Livingston look competitive but not especially secure, which keeps them in the mix without making them an obvious favourite.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Dundee (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Jon McCracken (Goalkeeper), Brad Halliday (Defender), Drey Wright (Defender), Luke Graham (Defender), Ryan Astley (Defender), Cameron Congreve (Midfielder), Ethan Hamilton (Midfielder), Joe Westley (Midfielder), Tony Yogane (Midfielder), Yan Dhanda (Midfielder), Simon Murray (Attacker)
Dundee’s predicted 4-2-3-1 should give them a solid base in midfield while still leaving enough support around Simon Murray. The shape also allows Cameron Congreve and Yan Dhanda to link play between the lines and help Dundee get runners close to the box.
Livingston (3-4-2-1)
Predicted lineup: Jérôme Prior (Goalkeeper), Brooklyn Kabongolo (Defender), Danny Wilson (Defender), Ryan McGowan (Defender), Cristian Montano (Midfielder), Danny Finlayson (Midfielder), Mohamad Sylla (Midfielder), Scott Arfield (Midfielder), Joel Nouble (Attacker), Lewis Smith (Attacker), Stevie May (Attacker)
Livingston’s predicted 3-4-2-1 should keep them compact at the back and give them width from the wing-back areas. It also leaves Joel Nouble with support from the two players behind him, which should help Livingston break forward more quickly.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| Dundee | Livingston | Text |
|---|---|---|
| Dundee | Livingston | Simon Murray will look to pin Brooklyn Kabongolo and make the most of any space in behind Livingston’s back three. |
| Dundee | Livingston | Cameron Congreve’s ability to carry the ball and find pockets could be important against Cristian Montano. |
| Dundee | Livingston | Simon Murray is key for Dundee because he is the main attacking reference point in their predicted shape. |
| Dundee | Livingston | Joel Nouble is key for Livingston because he gives them a central outlet and a focal point for attacks. |
