How are both teams coming into this?
Partick Thistle arrive in strong form, unbeaten in their last four matches, including a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Ayr United. Manager Ian McCall’s side have shown real defensive resilience, keeping three clean sheets in those games, and will be confident at home.
Livingston, meanwhile, have won three of their last five outings but suffered a narrow defeat to Raith Rovers last weekend. The Lions boast a dangerous front line, led by the on-loan striker who has netted five times in his last six appearances, but they must tighten up at the back if they’re to contain Thistle’s attack.
Our forecast
We expect a cagey first half as both teams probe for weaknesses, but the hosts should edge ahead after the break. Partick’s defensive solidity and home-field advantage make them slight favourites to take the tie into the return leg with an advantage.
Backing a 2-1 win for Partick Thistle looks appealing, with both sides likely to find the net. A draw at half-time and a Thistle victory at full-time is also an interesting double-chance bet for those seeking higher odds.
