We feel that in this game, Hamilton Academical should be able to get a goal against this Livingston team, although one goal is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.
Therefore, we think that itโs going to be a very close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Livingston at the end of the 90 minutes. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
