Livingston v Falkirk : Championship match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 16th Nov, 15:00 BST, Tony Macaroni Arena, Livingston

We’ve Championship action to enjoy on Saturday afternoon, as David Martindale and his Livingston side host John McGlynn’s Falkirk at the Tony Macaroni Arena. Our aim is to give you all the tools you need to make a smart, well-informed bet on this tie, so we've sifted through our extensive database and pulled out the stats that will help you do exactly that. Head-to-head and recent form is included, and the KickOff predictions are produced from them. Odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers are there to make sure you get the best return.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that it's fairly unlikely that this fixture will serve up 4+ goals, and the odds and statistics align with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Livingston and Falkirk haven't typically been involved in goal-fests of late, whether that be in the Championship individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a compelling favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.22.
