Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Dundee FC
Match Time & Date:
26/02/2022
16:00
Prediction: 1-1
Livingston
Dens Park will host Saturday’s football game between Dundee and Livingston, the two bottom-table sides. Dundee are stuck at the bottom of the table, with the team losing to Celtic at the weekend. The Dark Blues are desperate to give fans some cheer, but the midweek clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. All Lee Ashcroft, Cillian Sheridan, and Jordan Marshal are sidelined with injuries for the home team.
The Lions, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous three league fixtures. Livingston want to move closer to the Championship Group berth, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Tom Parkes is a major doubt, and the defender faces race against clock to be fit for the match.

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. Four months later, he scored his first goal in the Scottish top flight, finding the net in a 3-1 win over St Mirren. 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 (Livingston):
Nicknamed the Lions, Livingstone are the Scottish Premier League club founded during the Second World War (1943) under the name of Ferranti Amateurs. Livingston welcome their opponents at Almondvale Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 9,512.
The Lions are known for their amber home kit, with the team wearing white when playing on the travels. Livingston have yet to win the Scottish Premier League title, but they did remarkably well to go all the way in the Scottish League Cup in the 2003/2004 season. The Lions recorded a 2-0 win over Hibernian in the title game played at Hampden Park in Glasgow.
Livingston registered their biggest win against Stranraer (8-0) in August 2012 in the first round of the Scottish League Cup, while their most massive defeat came on December 14, 1974, as they were beaten 8-0 by Hamilton. Legendary Premier League coach Paul Lambert is regarded as one of the club’s most notable players.
