On the other side, Celtic had 27 shots at goal with 10 of them on target. Daizen Maeda (7', 22', 86') and Kyogo Furuhashi (95') scored for Celtic.
In their previous 6 outings, Livingston have helped themselves to the sum of 10 goals. Livingston have also managed to score on each one of those occasions. Over that period, they’ve had 13 goals scored by their opponents. We will have to find out whether or not that trend will end up being continued on in this game.
Heading into this fixture, Livingston haven’t won away from home in the past 13 league games. What a horror away run it has been.

📰 Team News: Hibernian
Jake Doyle-Hayes (unknown injury) and Josh Campbell (Ankle injury) aren’t available for Hibernian gaffer Nick Montgomery. Nathan Moriah-Welsh is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
We think that The Hibees could use a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game featuring David Marshall, Lewis Miller, Will Fish, Rocky Bushiri, Jordan Obita, Dylan Levitt, Joe Newell, Nectarios Triantis, Emiliano Marcondes, Myziane Maolida and Élie Youan.
📰 Team News: Livingston
Thanks to a fully injury-free squad to pick from, the Livingston boss David Martindale does not have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this game.
We believe Livi Lions appear most likely to make use of a 4-3-3 system, starting Shamal George, Michael Devlin, Michael Nottingham, Ayo Obileye, Sean Kelly, Andrew Shinnie, David Carson, Jason Holt, Daniel MacKay, Tete Yengi and Cristian Montano.
💭 Prediction
We feel that in this game, Hibernian certainly have the ability to be able to score a couple when they face Livingston, who will not find it easy scoring.
We’re tipping a pretty comfortable 2-0 winning margin for Hibernian by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
