This weekend marks a crucial encounter as Livingston FC travel to face Greenock Morton at Cappielow Park in the Scottish Championship. Both teams come into this fixture with different stakes on the line: We currently sit 2nd in the table, while Morton, in 6th place, is pushing to close the gap on the playoff spots. A win for either side could have major implications as the season enters its final stages.

We are coming off a strong 3-0 home win over Queens Park, having won 3 out of the last 5 matches. We have scored 12 goals during that run and have the second-best away record in the league.

Greenock Morton is coming off a 5-0 away defeat to league leaders Falkirk, so they will be looking to bounce back and put in a positive performance at home. They have scored 7 goals in their last 5 matches but haven’t scored in their last two games. So, they will be looking to close that gap to those promotion playoff spots.

Some key players for this match will be Stephen Kelly who won Specialized Signs Player of the Month and remains a central figure, dictating play from midfield. The team will also rely on Scott Pitman’s experience and work rate to provide stability in the middle of the park. As well as Robbie Muirhead has also been instrumental in attacking play, providing goals and leadership in key moments. A mention for Lewis Smith too, who scored last week and recently won the Player of the Match award for his performance.

In the last 5 matches between both sides, we have had the upper hand slightly by winning 2 of the last 5 matches, losing only 1. The last game was a thrilling 3-2 home victory back in February. So, will be looking to repeat that away from home.
