Aberdeen v Livingston: mid-table push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Aberdeen host Livingston in the Scottish Premiership at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday, 24 January 2026, with eighth facing 12th in a game that could shape a mid-table push for the hosts and a survival bid for the visitors.

Aberdeen hold the historical edge and won the reverse fixture 1-0 away in November. Livingston arrive bottom of the table and without an away league win this season.

The Dons snapped a four-match league losing run with a Scottish Cup victory over Raith Rovers, but their recent Premiership form still needs a response. Livingston have steadied slightly with back-to-back league draws against Kilmarnock and St Mirren.

Season trends point to where this could tilt. The Dons have scored 20 league goals, with 18 from inside the box, but none from set pieces and only one header, so their threat is likely to come through open play. Livingston have conceded 42 and kept just one clean sheet, while giving away seven penalties, so balls and runs into the area could be decisive. Up front, Marco Lazetic has four league goals for the hosts, while Jeremy Bokila leads Livingston with five (per the league charts).

A home win would move The Dons to 28 points and could nudge them closer to the top half. Victory for Livingston would lift them to 14 points and may close the gap in the relegation fight.
