Preview Livingston
Friday, 29th Mar 2013Livingston are only two points ahead of Dunfermline in the league and sit one position above the Fifers
Dunfermline`s trip to Livingston on Saturday will be only their second there on league business since March 2009. In December the Fifers went down 2-1 but given the announcement of player redundancies no one can expect much from Jim Jefferies` casualty riddled side. No fewer than five of the side that faced Falkirk on Wednesday night have left the Club. It would appear that an away win might be a minor miracle.

Dunfermline`s poor league record was account of them taking ten visits there in the Premier League before they got a win. First Division form is much better. The Pars won three visits back when an Andy Kirk double assisted in the 3-2 victory.
