Falkirk appears to be the favorite for this match despite playing away. Livingston is showing very poor home form with only 8% wins at home and a massive 58% loss rate, failing to keep a single clean sheet in home matches. The visitors from Falkirk have a significantly better away record (42% wins) and a higher average possession (51% vs 48%). A key advantage for the visitors is 42% clean sheets away and better points per game in the last five matches (1.4 vs 0.6). Livingston has not won once in their last five home matches, which further supports a Falkirk win. xG statistics are close for both teams, but Falkirk's overall form and defensive efficiency give them a real chance for three points.
