The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Sunday's Scottish Premiership clash between Motherwell and Livingston, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Motherwell 1-0 Livingston

With neither side one for scoring many goals so far this season, it would be expected that this is another tight clash with little entertainment in front of goal on Sunday. However, we are predicting Motherwell to edge out their visitors to continue their strong start to the campaign, and extend their impressive run of form at home as well in the process. Read more.
