Hearts v Livingston

Hearts vs Livingston Preview

Hearts will be desperate to avoid a third league defeat on the trot in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday night when they play host to Livingston at their Tynecastle Park having suffered back-to-back defeats at the hands of the top two clubs in the division, Celtic and Rangers, while Livingston will be wanting to produce a positive response to their disappointing defeat at home to Dundee on Saturday.

Although it's no disgrace to lose to Celtic and Rangers, nevertheless, these defeats have contributed to Hearts dropping out of the top six in the Scottish Premiership table and down to seventh place ahead of this midweek clash with fellow lower half club, Livingston, on Wednesday night.

Hearts have managed to capture just three wins from their opening 10 league matches overall in the domestic top flight which have come in victories against St Johnstone, Aberdeen and Ross County although The Jambos have also slipped to five defeats as well so far this season.

The straight win markets therefore look best avoided here but goals for both teams could feature as each of Hearts' last three matches have seen both teams score and both sides in this upcoming encounter will be seeking a bounce-back win here.

Livingston also suffered defeat on the weekend which came in the form of a 2-0 loss on home soil to Dundee which has resulted in the visitors managing to collect just the one win from their last seven matches overall in the Scottish Premiership, that being a 2-0 home win against Motherwell.

However, three draws with the likes of St Mirren, Ross County and St Johnstone have been overshadowed by defeats at the hands of Celtic, Kilmarnock and Dundee and they too have lost their last two league matches on the trot as well.

This only serves to confirm that the straight win markets should be avoided here but five of Livingston's 10 league matches so far in this campaign have also resulted with both teams scoring and the goals markets look to be the most suited to Wednesday night's fixture at Tynecastle Park.

Livingston have also found picking up wins in the Scottish Premiership a difficult thing to achieve as the visitors have managed to collect just three victories from their previous 16 matches overall, while form and results on the road have been simply woeful.

The visitors have registered just one win from their last 13 outings on the road, slipping to no fewer than 10 defeats but each of their last four away games have also resulted in both teams scoring as well.

Hearts v Livingston Verdict

Neither Hearts nor Livingston are displaying impressive form or results right now in the Scottish top flight but goals for both sides could feature in perhaps a score-draw.

Therefore, our main bet will be Both Teams To Score Yes @ 2.00
