Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Hibernian play host to Livingston at their Easter Road on day 20 of the current Premiership campaign. The Hibs were on the verge of beating Ross County in a postponed fixture, but Yan Dhanda’s late goal eventually helped the Staggies grab one point from the match. Anyhow, Hibernian have been showing signs of improvement up front in recent weeks. Lewis Miller limped off with injury in the midweek clash, with Chris Cadden likely to step up.
Midfielder Nathan Moriah-Welsh is back from suspension, while all Martin Boyle, Luke Amos, Owen Bevan, Josh Campbell, and Jake Doyle-Hayes are sidelined with injuries. Livingston, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the FA Cup loss (2-4) to Celtic, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. Earlier this term Hibernian defeated Livingston 1-0 thanks to Martin Boyle’s goal.
Highlighted Team (Hibernian):
Founded in August 1875, Hibernian are the Scottish Premier League team that play home matches at Easter Road. The capacity of the venue is 20,421, and it was opened in 1893. The Hibs wear light green shirts with white sleeves and white shorts in home matches, while light grey is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Hibernian clinched their first Scottish league trophy back in the 1902/03 season, and they were the dominant force in Scottish football in the early 50s, securing three titles more from 1948 to 1952. The Easter Road outfit recorded their biggest win on September 3, 1881, with the team rolling over Black Watch Highlanders 22-1.
In February 1961, the Hibs suffered the biggest defeat in the club's history as they were beaten by Airdrie 11-1. Hibernian and Hearts face each other in the Edinburgh derby. The rivalry between the two clubs is considered one of the oldest rivalries in world football.
