Odds-on Lions can leapfrog Red Lichties
FC Livingston may have the edge over Arbroath when the teams meet in Scotland on Saturday, according to their odds and recent form.
Glenn Whelan took charge of The Lions on 1 July 2026 and has made them a compact, organised side that are dangerous in transition and have some sharpness up top. Robbie Muirhead, the club's most lethal man in the Championship 2026/2027 so far with three goals in three, has scored two of his side's last five and Scott Pittman has added a bit more bite, with two assists in three from deeper areas.
Livingston split their three Championship 2026/2027 games to date, winning 2-0 at home to Queen's Park and losing 2-0 at Partick Thistle, before seeing off Dunfermline 2-0 in a recent home fixture.
Arbroath will give it a go
They will take on an Arbroath side that are making their presence felt in the second flight this season under the leadership of Colin Hamilton, who has been in charge since 12 September 2024. The Red Lichties have turned in some solid displays that have seen them scrape out results, such as the 0-0 draw at home to Inverness Caledonian Thistle and the 2-1 away win at Greenock Morton.
Jude Bonnar leads the Championship 2026/2027 scoring for the home side with one goal in one, but Sean Mackie has given Arbroath more of an attacking edge from deeper positions, with the midfielder also on one assist in three.
Sides seem closely matched
This looks like a game for the visitors to win with their sharper form and stronger odds, although both sides could easily walk away with a share of the spoils.
An Under 2.5 goals wager at 17/25 is the sharp angle for a cagey, margin-for-error contest. Arbroath's 4-2-3-1 and heavy pressing will bring plenty of hustle, but Livingston's structured back four and counter-punching shape can punish space behind.
