On Tuesday, the 2nd of January, a showdown is set for the Scottish Premiership league. The teams squaring off on the field are Livingston and Hearts.
In their recent duel on the 30th of December, Livingston suffered a defeat of 1:3 against Motherwell, with the score being clinched on the 35th minute of the first half. With 20 matches played so far in the Premiership championship, Livingston stands in the 12th position. The team's record includes 2 wins, 12 losses and 6 draws, giving them a goal difference of 11:30 and a current total of 12 points.
With their last 5 games ending in 2 draws and 3 losses, it's been a tough run. On the other hand, Motherwell takes the 8th position on the leaderboard post their completing of 20 matches. They boast 4 victories, 9 losses and 7 draws, amassing 19 points.
The last face-off for Hearts, played out on the 30th of December, resulted in a draw score of 2:2 against Ross County. As of the current 2023/2024 season, Hearts proudly holds the 3rd position in the Premiership Championship leaderboard. Their scorecard reads 20 matches, with 10 victorious outings, 7 losses and 3 draws.
They've netted a total of 22 goals while conceding 17, pushing their overall point tally to 33. In contrast, Ross County occupies the 11th slot on the leaderboard having contested 18 matches, with a win-loss record of 4-8 and amassing 18 points. Hearts' recent form over their last 5 matches includes 3 triumphs and 1 draw.
Given the recent form of both teams, I'm placing my bet on an away victory in favour of Hearts over a struggling Livingston, who haven't tasted victory in the Scottish Premiership since November.
