MATCH of the day from the Scottish Premiership comes from Easter Road as Hibernian look to leapfrog Livingston into 5th place and again you have to look at goals, a market which has been terrific when it comes to Hibs home games
Elsewhere, Aberdeen have a chance to tighten their grip on third place as they host away day strugglers Ross County and in League One, lague leaders Raith Rovers are home to a Clyde side who have last 5 of their last 6 away from home.

Hibernian vs Livingston (KO 3pm)
In comparison to 3 or 4 months ago, its a fairly good time to be a Hibee. A solid January transfer window has seen Jack Ross’s side continue to push up the league and they have a terrific opportunity to leapfrog todays opponents Livingston and start putting pressure on Motherwell and Aberdeen.
The Leith side have been my go to team this season and its easy to see why.
14 of their last 15 games at Easter Road have seen over 2.5 goals with 12 of those games seeing both sides score. They’ve scored 2 or more in 9 of their last 10 at home but their achilles heel has been their defending. 3 clean sheets in 15 is unacceptable, especially when you see the number of clubs who have travelled here and scored 2 or more goals.
The capture of Greg Docherty and Marc McNulty in January to compliment Boyle, Allen and Doidge for me makes Hibs one of the most exciting teams to watch from an attacking sense and they host a Livi side who despite having a really good season so far, its well known, Livi pick up the majority of their points at home (27 from 37) and they’ve won just three of their last 30 matches on grass which is a terrible record.
Livi are threat going forward, especially with Lawless and Dykes and with the jury is still out on the Hibs defence, they are more than capable of grabbing a goal.
It wont be more than a consolation though as I fully expect Hibs to score at least twice. Hibs to score two and over 2.5 goals are two markets that were priced up in my opinion a lot bigger than they should be given Hibs scoring record at home.
