Livingston has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-6 record this season.

Everything went Livingston's way against Lathrop in their previous matchup back in March, as Livingston made off with a 19-6 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wolves since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
