Form is a concern for both. Livingston have lost four on the bounce after a draw, most recently 1-0 at Hearts. Kilmarnock are winless in five with four defeats, their last outing a 3-1 home loss to Hibernian.

Season trends point to a narrow contest. Livingston average one goal per game and have kept one clean sheet, while Kilmarnock score 0.9 per game with four clean sheets. The visitors' delivery from wide could matter given their 22.46% cross accuracy from open play. The hosts have yet to score from a set piece but have converted four of their five penalties. Key threats include Jeremy Bokila for Livingston, who features among the league scorers with five goals, and Bruce Anderson for Kilmarnock on three, per the latest rankings. Cristian Montano has supplied three assists for the home side, while James Brown has two for the visitors.

A home win would move Livingston to 12 points and cut the gap to 11th to one point. Victory for Kilmarnock would take them to 16 points and create breathing space at the foot of the table.
