Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Hearts will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over St. Mirren when they take on Livingston in the Premiership round 33. The Jambos are on the right track to secure a top-three finish and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. Uganda international Toby Sibbick is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while all Liam Boyce, Peter Haring, Craig Halkett, Beni Baningime, and Calem Nieuwenhof are out of contention with injuries.
The Lions, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only 18 points on their account. The rock-bottom side have already suffered 12 defeats on the road this term and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Hearts’ party at Tynecastle Park. You should bear in mind that Hearts emerged triumphant in each of the previous two meetings with Livingston in the Scottish top flight. The likes of Andrew Shinnie, James Penrice, and Cristian Montano should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.

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.
