Aberdeen - Livingston predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Livingston may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of Aberdeen and the 5.96 odds given to Livingston to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

With $ODDS_HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY betting odds to win their previous away match, it’s fair to say Aberdeen were never the favourites to do such a thing, let alone pull it in an impressive manner. Yet after taking an early lead they eased to a Hibernian HT/FT victory which will be a huge boost for their morale ahead of Wednesday.

Livingston’s previous Premiership home bout ended with a surprising turn of events. They were facing off against St. Johnstone, who were considered favourites at odds of 2.67. St. Johnstone took the lead in the first half, but a string of concessions in the second half resulted in a 2:1 home win.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Aberdeen and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

Livingston can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

Aberdeen played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Wednesday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.57 odds offer a decent return.
