Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Tony Macaroni Arena will host Saturday’s football match between Livingston and Hamilton. The Lions were producing splendid displays in January, but, all of a sudden, they suffered a dip in form. Livingston are on a three-game losing run in the Premiership, and, no doubt, they are desperate to grab something from the Hamilton clash. Both Jacobs and Lithgow have been struggling with injuries of late, and the duo is unlikely to feature in Saturday’s clash.
The Accies, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late as they suffered only one loss in the previous six league fixtures. Hamilton should take advantage of the current atmosphere in Livingston’s dressing room, but they are unlikely to grab more than one point from the Tony Macaroni Arena showdown. Nathan Thomas, who suffered an injury in the goalless draw with Aberdeen, is likely to miss the Livingston game.
Highlighted Player (Craig Sibbald):
Craig Sibbald is a Scottish footballer who plays for Livingston as a midfielder. Sibbald started his senior career at Falkirk, and after scoring 30 goals in 214 appearances for the Bairns, he signed a two-year contract with Livingston in the summer of 2018.
Craig Sibbald made his Scotland Premier League debut on September 30, 2018, in a 1-0 loss to Rangers. Four months later, he scored his first goal in the Scottish top flight, finding the net in a 3-1 win over St Mirren. Craig Sibbald has three caps with the Scotland U16 team while making two appearances for the Scotland U17 side. He wears the number 10 shirt at Livingston, and his preferred foot is left.
Sibbald’s main position is attacking midfield, but he is used as a left winger as well. The Scottish footballer has a contract with Livingston until July 1, 2018. In August 2011, he was named the Scottish Football League Young Player of the Month.
Highlighted Team (Hamilton):
Nicknamed the Accies, Hamilton are the Scottish Premier League club founded back in 1874. Hamilton’s home ground is New Douglas Park, the venue which was opened in 2001. The capacity of the stadium is only 6,018. The Accies clinched their first domestic trophy in the 1985/86 season, with the team finishing the process eleven points clear of second-placed Falkirk.
Two seasons later, Hamilton repeated the success, with the team clinching their third and last Scotland Premier League trophy in the 2007/2008 season. The Accies wear white shirts with red stripes when playing at home ground, while blue and green are the dominant colours of their away kit. Fellow clubs based in Lanarkshire, Motherwell, and Albion Rovers, are considered the club’s main rivals.
Speaking of the club’s biggest win, you should bear in mind that Hamilton outclassed Morton 10-0 in May 2014. Crystal Palace midfielder James McCarthy is considered one of the most notable footballers who started their senior career at Hamilton.
