Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Tuesday’s football game at Tony Macaroni Arena pits together Livingston and Hearts, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Lions are stuck at the bottom with only 12 points on their account and, no doubt, they are eager to make amends for the unsuccessful first half of the season. David Martindale should have a full squad to choose from for the first game of the year.
The Jambos, on the other hand, were producing fine displays in December, with the team beating the likes of Celtic, St. Mirren, and Hibernian, while sharing the spoils with Ross County. Anyhow, Hearts are more of a team than the rock-bottom side and we predict that the visitors are going to prove their worth on the field. Both Forrest and Oda are pushing for a start, while the likes of Grant, Devlin, and Boyce continue to miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Livingston):
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.
