Preview
Livingston are just two points off the bottom of the Scottish Premiership table going into the weekend's fixtures and it's unlikely that things will improve when Hearts visit Almondvale.
The Jambos have made an excellent return to the top flight since their promotion last season and they are yet to lose on their own patch this term. Their away form hasn't been quite as impressive, but Robbie Neilson's side have won at Dundee United and St Mirren and they picked up a point at Ibrox.
Hearts played fairly well when going down 1-0 at Celtic on Thursday and they face far weaker opposition on Sunday.
Livingston are without a win in five SPL matches, they have scored just three goals in that run, and the performances have been poor.
Of course, Livi did grab at draw at Parkhead, but that came in a game in which they had no shots on target, one effort on goal and just 15 per cent possession. Anything around even-money looks a good offer on a Hearts victory.
Motherwell got back to winning ways against Dundee United on Tuesday and that made it three wins in four matches for the Well. It's encouraging that a previously leaky Motherwell defence have kept three clean sheets in their last four matches and Graham Alexander's men look underrated at Hibs.
The Hibees were given a tough time by Rangers on Wednesday and that 1-0 defeat made it just one victory in their last seven top-flight matches. Jack Ross is heavily reliant on Martin Boyle and if Motherwell can keep the Aussie quiet they can outrun their odds on Saturday.
