Dundee United vs Livingston prediction 12.05.2026 | Premiership

Dundee United didn't repeat last season's feat of securing the Conference League qualification, but the team from Tannadice Park fulfilled their primary goal: another year in the Premiership. However, Dundee United slipped in form recently with two defeats in the last two matches and a 0:5 goal difference. In the most recent outing, Jim Goodwin's team lost 2-0 on the road against Aberdeen. The visitors ended with xG of only 0.46, so it is not surprising that Dundee United remained empty-handed again.

After a defeat in the previous match, Dundee United's manager, Jim Goodwin, was disappointed. He said, "We didn't do well enough on the ball, and from our own perspective, we were really sloppy in possession and turned over possession far too cheaply at times. It's really frustrating to lose the last couple of fixtures, and it's really important that we bounce back on Tuesday night."

Dundee United's Emmanuel Agyel received a red card late in the previous match and will serve a suspension against Livingston. They will also be without injured Amar Fatah, Ashley Maynard-Brewer, Isaac Pappoe, Luca Stephenson, and Kristijan Trapanovski.

After only one season in the Premiership, Livingston will return to the Championship. They are at the bottom of the relegation group and can't save themself in the final two rounds of the season. Livingston won only two games this season. In the previous match, they lost 3-0 on the road against Dundee FC. That was another tie in which Livingston had too many defensive issues.

Livingston lost in the previous round, but the interim manager, Scott Arfield, feels that his team deserved more. He said, "I don't think that game was ever a 3-0 game. Not a chance. In possession, we were excellent at times. We just need to reward ourselves in big moments."

Livington have almost a full squad available. Connor McLennan will skip the trip to Dundee due to an ankle injury, while Jeremy Bokila is questionable.
