Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Hibernian and Livingston go head to head at Easter Road in the Scotland Premiership round 35. The Hibs are brimming with confidence following a 4-0 win over Stranraer in the Scottish Cup, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in the midweek clash. Hibernian are eager to retain their spot in top four, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. Both Mackie and Murphy are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Lions, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back of late, with the team suffering a heavy 6-0 loss to Celtic in their last league match. Considering that Livingston suffered three defeats in the previous four away games, we are tempted to put our money on the Hibs, who are eyeing a top-four finish.

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.
