Livingston have won more away games than Dunfermline have won home games this league season. With consecutive wins over Ross County and Queen of the South, Livingston have put behind them their embarrassing Homecoming Scottish Cup exit at the hands of East Stirling. That caused the sacking of Roberto Landi.
