Hibernian form and stats

Hibernian have collected 17 points from their Premiership home games so far after 5-2-3. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Hibernian after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Hibernian are confident in defense, having played 248 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Hibernian travelled for their previous game, a trip to Motherwell that ended 0-0. The goalie Macey was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.44 out of ten. Macey topped it up with a clean sheet.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Hibernian's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won three matches, drawn two and lost zero.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Hearts are coming to town in three days.

The Hibernian fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 10 matches.

Livingston form and stats

Livingston have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Premiership, after 3-3-6 (12 played). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Livingston are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The attacking players of Livingston have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 190 minutes.

Livingston lost away at Rangers (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Fitzwater was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.85. The defender Fitzwater hit one key pass and won 9 of 11 duels.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Livingston when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing one and winning zero games.

A quick return to home after this game, as Livingston are hosting St. Johnstone in the Premiership only three days away.

Goals are few and far between in Livingston's away league games. Only 9 goals from 12 travels. Many goals are not expected from the visiting Livingston as they have only managed to score 9 times from 12 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Livingston have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
