This Saturday, we host Queen’s Park in a 2nd vs 4^th encounter. Queen’s Park are in fine form whereas we will be looking to bounce back from Tuesday nights defeat away to Dunfermline. The 3-0 defeat was our first loss in the league this season. We are focused on maintaining our solid home form with 5 wins so far this season and in our last five matches we have had two wins, two draws and one loss.

Queen’s Park are coming into this game after 1-0 win away to Greenock Morton. They have 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in their last 5 league matches. They have scored 7 goals in their last 5 games so will be tough opposition for the lions.

The key men for us heading into this one are Michael Nottingham, who netted the last-minute winner against Raith Rovers that got him a spot in the SPFL Team of the Week. The defender is up for Player of the Month. Scott Pittman will be another key player for us in this game. Another player who is also up for Player of the Month, with 5 goals and 3 assists to his name, he will be looking to add to his goal tally.

In the last five meetings between the two sides, Livingston have won 2 of the last 5 games. The last encounter saw a 1-1 draw in the league in August. We went 1-0 down in the first half but it was a Matthew Clarke equaliser that helped the lions earn a point on the road. This will be the first time the sides have played each other since then.  We are drawn 1^st for the best home record. Queen’s Park are ranked 2^nd away from home this season and unbeaten in 4 away games so it’ll be a tough test for the home side tomorrow.
