Livingston’s current situation is, quite frankly, a bit of a nightmare. They are sitting at the bottom and the 4-2 loss to Celtic really highlighted their defensive frailties. While they can clearly find the net—averaging 1.5 goals scored at home—they just can’t seem to shut the back door, conceding 2 goals per match on average. It’s a wild ride for the neutral, though, as 88% of their home games have seen at least three goals. They play with a lot of heart, and their high foul count (17.5 committed per game) shows they aren’t afraid to get stuck in. However, with key defenders like Cameron Kerr and Shane Blaney out, the pressure on stand-in keeper Dave Richards is going to be immense.
Dundee United, on the other hand, are the undisputed kings of the draw. Jim Goodwin has built a side that is incredibly tough to beat, but they often struggle to turn one point into three. Away from home, they’ve been a bit more conservative, with only 33% of their matches going over the 2.5 goal mark. Still, they manage to score 1.33 goals per game on their travels. Defensively, they aren’t perfect either, conceding 1.56 goals on average when playing away from Tannadice. They’ll be missing Ross Graham in the heart of defense, which might give Livi’s attackers a glimmer of hope. It’s hard to say how this will end, but United’s habit of sharing the spoils makes them a tricky opponent to predict.
Looking at the data, this feels like a match where both sides will have their moments in the sun. Livingston’s desperation usually leads to open games, and the 78% overall BTTS average suggests we should expect goals at both ends. The referee, Grant Irvine, might have a busy night considering the physical nature of these two squads. That said, the statistical overlap in the card market is particularly eye-catching for those following Get Free Premiership Predictions closely this week. With Livi fighting for their lives and United looking to maintain their unbeaten run, a cautious but action packed encounter seems likely. It’s a bold move to back a winner here, so focusing on the peripheral markets might be the smarter play.
Livingston have bolstered their survival hopes by signing winger Joshua Zimmerman from Dutch side TOP Oss for an undisclosed fee. The 24-year-old international joins on a three-and-a-half-year deal as manager David Martindale looks to strengthen his squad during the January window. Following a spirited performance against Celtic, the Lions aim to find more defensive stability and clinical finishing in their upcoming clash with Dundee United.

The disciplinary record of both these sides suggests that Over 4.5 cards is a very strong possibility for this encounter. Livingston’s home matches are notoriously physical; they commit 17.5 fouls per game while winning 12.5. This constant friction results in an average of 3.13 yellow or red cards for the hosts alone. Dundee United isn't exactly a "clean" side either when traveling, picking up over three cards per game on average. The fact that the overall match average for total cards sits at 4.53 indicates a high probability of a card-heavy game. Given that Livingston is rooted to the bottom of the table, their players are likely to play with a "last stand" mentality, leading to cynical fouls to stop counter attacks. United’s technical players will likely draw these fouls, and the referee will have to maintain control early on.
