Rangers vs Livingston Prediction: Rangers will not disappoint

In a clash between one of Scottish football's powerhouses and one of the least in-form teams in the country, Rangers will host Livingston at Ibrox on Saturday. The home team is intensifying the competition at the summit of the Premiership, closely pursuing rivals Celtic. Meanwhile, Livingston appears destined for relegation, languishing at the bottom and struggling to break free from the relegation zone.

Building on their recent success, Rangers are eager for a repeat performance following their 1-0 Premiership victory against St Mirren. During that match, Rangers maintained 63% possession and made 10 attempts at goal, with 2 on target. The lone scorer for Rangers was Cyriel Dessers (14'). St Mirren, their opponents, had 8 shots at goal, with 2 on target. Rangers have been consistently prolific in scoring, finding the net in each of their last 6 games, accumulating a total of 14 goals while conceding 4. Notably, Rangers have an impressive record against Livingston, having not been defeated by them in the league in their last 17 encounters, and they remain unbeaten in their last 6 home league matches.

In their recent Premiership fixture, Livingston played to a 2-2 draw against Ross County. During the match, Livingston maintained 55% possession and attempted 12 shots on goal, with 3 on target. Scott Pittman (45') and Daniel Mackay (88') were the goal-scorers for Livingston, while Ross County managed 10 shots on goal, with Simon Murray (28', 85') finding the net twice.

Analyzing their recent performances, Livingston has conceded goals in 5 of their last 6 games, allowing opposing teams to score a total of 12 goals. Defensively, Livingston has faced challenges. Heading into this upcoming match, Livingston has not secured a victory away from home in their last 9 league matches.

In the 46 previous encounters between these two teams, Rangers emerged victorious 34 times, suffering only three losses to Livingston. Rangers are currently on a four-game winning streak in this fixture, managing to keep a clean sheet in all four matches, and they remain unbeaten in the last 21 meetings. Livingston's last triumph over Rangers occurred in September 2018. Notably, Rangers have won their last two home games against Livingston with a commanding scoreline of 4-0.

Rangers are enjoying success across competitions, securing victories in their last four games. On the flip side, Livingston is currently enduring the longest winless streak in the Scottish Premiership, going without a victory in their last 15 league matches.

A key player for Rangers, Cyriel Dessers, has been in impressive goal-scoring form, finding the net in their last three consecutive games: against Dumbarton in the Scottish Cup, and against Hibernian and St. Mirren in the Scottish Premiership.

In what is expected to be one of the most lopsided matchups in the Premiership this season, Rangers are poised to easily dominate against Livingston. The visitors have never secured a victory in a competitive game at Ibrox, and this trend is unlikely to shift this weekend, especially given their ongoing 15-game winless streak. Considering Rangers' current formidable form leading into this match, it seems improbable that Livingston will find the back of the net in what is anticipated to be a complete rout in favor of Rangers.
