Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Livingston and Hibernian take on each other at Tony Macaroni Arena on the last day of the season. The Lions continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, with the team eyeing their third consecutive win on home soil. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, both Shinnie and Mackay should sneak into the starting XI.
The Hibs, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-0 win over Motherwell. As both Hibernian and Livingston are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. As for the visiting side, midfielder Owen Bevan misses out with a thigh injury. In their last meeting in the Scottish top flight Hibernian defeated Livingston 3-0.
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.
