Aberdeen looks decidedly better in the clash with Livingston, despite weaker recent form. The hosts have an advantage in efficiency (9% vs 7% shot conversion) and possession (52% vs 46%). A key factor is Livingston's terrible away record – zero wins with 64% losses and a negative goal difference of -14. The visitors cannot score away (average 0.64 goals), and in 55% of matches they fail to score at all. Aberdeen, playing at home, maintains a balanced goal difference (0) and wins 27% of matches, which against such a weak rival should be enough to take three points. xG statistics also speak in favor of the hosts (1.45 vs 1.1 for the visitors away).
