Forfar Ath. face a trip to Livingston at Almondvale Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Loons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 16 and win only 3 of the 28 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2008, the Livi carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Scottish Challenge Cup match.
