Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Saturday’s football game at Tony Macaroni Arena pits together Livingston and Hibernian, the two top-table sides. The Lions aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Rangers and Aberdeen, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Hibs. Both Boyes and Holt are sidelined with injuries, while defender Tom Parkes misses out with a knee injury. Hibernian, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over St. Mirren and Kilmarnock.
The visitors are eager to stay in top four, but beating Livingston on the road is easier said than done. Both Mykola Kukharevych and Rocky Bushiri are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be fit-again midfielder Kyle Magennis, who scored a brace in the last league match.
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.
