Recent respective form guides

Livingston have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Livi have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Hearts's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Jambo's, and 5 goals against.

Livingston find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 5 games have yielded only 1 points. Hearts are leading the way in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier, with their 5 games giving them a return of 15 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Livi at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Jambo's come away with an easy victory. Away win
