History of the Livingston v Hibernian fixture

Livingston prepare to entertain Hibernian at Almondvale Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 3 times from 7 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Almondvale Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Livingston have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Livi have scored 6, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Hibernian however, is much more impressive, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the The Hibees, and 6 goals against.

Livingston find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 13 games have yielded only 5 points. Hibernian are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 28 points from 13 games.
