Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Livingston
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 2-0
Hearts
Livingston will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Rangers and Aberdeen when they take on Hearts at Tony Macaroni Arena on Matchday 17. The Lions suffered a dip in form in November, but this game could be the turning point for the home side. Keep in mind, though, that Jackson Longridge misses the game through suspension after he was sent off in the midweek defeat.
Hearts, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over St. Mirren. Robbie Neilson’s troops, though, have been struggling on the travels of late, and given their five-game winless run on the road, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the relegation-threatened hosts. Both Beni Baningime and Jamie Brandon are injured for the visitors.

Craig Sibbald is a Scottish footballer who plays for Livingston as a midfielder. Sibbald started his senior career at Falkirk, and after scoring 30 goals in 214 appearances for the Bairns, he signed a two-year contract with Livingston in the summer of 2018.
Craig Sibbald made his Scotland Premier League debut on September 30, 2018, in a 1-0 loss to Rangers.

Craig Sibbald has three caps with the Scotland U16 team while making two appearances for the Scotland U17 side. He wears the number 10 shirt at Livingston, and his preferred foot is left.

Highlighted Team (Hearts):
Founded in 1874, Hearts are professional football club that compete in the Scotland Premiership. The Jam Tarts welcome their rivals at Tynecastle Park Gorgie, the stadium which can hold up to 20,000 spectators.
While the original Hearts strip was all white shirts and trousers with maroon trimmings, the club’s current home kit is all maroon with a white-collar. Hearts have won the Scottish Premier League title four times (1894/95, 1896/97, 1957/58, 1959/60), but they have been in Celtic and Rangers’ shadows in the 21st century. Hibernian are considered the club’s fiercest rivals. The two teams first met back in 1875 on Christmas Day, with Hearts winning the match 1-0. The Tynecastle Park Gorgie recorded their biggest win in 1880, with the team rolling over Anchor 21-0 in the FA Cup.
The club’s heaviest defeat came eight years later as Hearts were beaten by Vale of Leven 8-1 in the Scottish Cup. John Robertson is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart, with the left winger netting 214 goals for the club.
