Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 2-1
Livingston
Hearts will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Celtic and Rangers when they take on Livingston on Matchday 11. The Jambos suffered a dip in form due to the tough fixture list, but they are surely capable of making life difficult for the Lions at their Tynecastle Park. All Nathaniel Atkinson, Barrie McKay, Craig Halkett, and Craig Gordon are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Lions, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back losses to Kilmarnock (1-3) and Dundee FC (0-2), which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side. To make things even worse for the away team, midfielder Cristian Montano is banned for the match following his sending-off in the defeat to Dundee.
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.
