Livingston WLDDLL

Livingston will be hoping to bounce back here after a 1-0 Premiership losing effort in their last game against St Mirren.

In that match, Livingston managed 54% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. On the other side, St Mirren got 6 shots on goal with 2 on target. Richard Tait (30') scored for St Mirren.

It has been seldom in recent times where Livingston have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Livi Lions have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 7 goals in the process. We will just have to find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Their past results show that Livingston:

• have not been beaten in the league by Hibernian in their previous 3 matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 8 league matches at home. It's been impressive.

Hibernian WDWLLW

Hibernian will come into the game following on from a 2-1 Premiership win vs Kilmarnock in their previous game.

📋 Team News: Livingston

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Livingston manager Gary Holt to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed group. Alan Lithgow (Hip Injury) won’t play.

ℹ️ Team News: Hibernian

Due to a fully injury-free group to pick from, Hibernian manager Jack Ross doesn’t have any fitness concerns to speak of coming into this clash.

🔮 Prediction

In our view, Hibernian and Livingston could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams.

Let’s see how this one goes, but it looks this could be a draw. We’re therefore seeing a very even match with a 1-1 score at full-time.
