Hearts welcome Livingston to Tynecastle as the Scottish Premiership leaders aim to maintain their momentum. Given Livingston's dreadful away record, we predict a 2-0 home win. Despite Ageu, Nieuwenhof, and Pollock sidelined, the Jambos retain strength in depth and continue to dominate at home. Their recent form reads DWWWL, with 2.00 PPG at home, averaging 2.00 goals scored and conceding just 0.75 per game. BTTS occurs in 75% of their home matches, showing attacking consistency.
The Lions, on the other hand, continue to struggle and are yet to win on the road this season, with 0.25 PPG away. Injuries to Blaney, Denholm, Kerr, and Montgomery were felt in a 3-1 defeat to Dundee United. They average just 0.50 goals scored in away matches while conceding 1.75, highlighting their shaky defence.
H2H favors Hearts, with 11 wins in 21 clashes and only 3 victories for Livingston. Given Hearts' home form and Livingston’s poor away record, there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Hearts to Score First and Hearts to Win to Nil.
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Saturday 3 January 2026 at 15:00.
