The upcoming match between Livingston and Morton is set to be an exciting encounter in the William Hill Championship. Livingston, fresh from their 3-2 win over Morton, which saw them move within a point of leaders Falkirk, will be looking to continue their momentum. The team's recent performance has been impressive, with Australian Tete Yengi scoring his fourth goal in five games, and the squad will be aiming to capitalize on this form to further reduce the gap with Falkirk.

Morton, on the other hand, will be seeking to bounce back from their loss to Livingston and the end of their 11-game unbeaten run at the hands of Falkirk. The team showed resilience in their previous match, with Arron Lyall putting them ahead and substitute Niall McGinn adding a second goal in stoppage time. However, they will need to improve their defense to counter Livingston's attacking prowess, which includes the speed and skill of players like Danny Wilson and Andrew Shinnie.
