After delivering yet another winner on Saturday, SlipsTips examines the Bet Builder market ahead of Livingston’s Scottish Premiership encounter with Hearts on Sunday afternoon.
Livingston vs Heart of Midlothian (Sunday, 13:30)
Heart of Midlothian will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to 10 matches when they take on Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena on Sunday Afternoon.
Robbie Neilson’s team tightened their grip on third place in the Scottish Premiership with a 5-0 trouncing of Aberdeen last midweek before earning a 3-0 Scottish Cup success at Edinburgh rivals Hibs last Sunday, on an afternoon where my Bet Builder banked.
As for Livingston, they continue to punch well above their weight under David Martindale’s astute management, with the Lions currently occupying fourth spot with 31 points to their name.
That being said, the visitors will attract plenty of attention here from punters at 6/5 and better, however, I’m Bet Builder market bound once more, with Hearts to Score, Over Three Hearts Corners and 30+ Match Booking Points the play at 5/6 (SkyBet).
Robbie Neilson’s side are riding the crest of a wave at the movement, and that is reflected by the fact they are the top-flights top scorers outside of the Old Firm, netting at least once in 14 of their last 15 matches across all competitions.
While Livingston are always a tough nut to crack, they have failed to keep the back door locked in 11 of their last 12 matches, including last week’s Scottish Cup win at a lowly Stenhousemuir.
I’m therefore happy to back high-flying Hearts to strike on Sunday, but to bump up the price, I’ll also go with the capital club to clock up four corners.
Livingston have proven time and time again to be extremely adept at frustrating their opponents, and that can be attributed to the fact that they have drawn an average of 6.52 corners per 90 minutes from their opponents this season so far, not to mention Hearts have averaged 4.91 flag kicks on their travels this term.
With a hard-fought contest anticipated, I’ll complete the selection with a minimum of 30+ match booking points, – a line referee Alan Muir has reached in 14 of his 18 outings across all competitions this season to date.
It’s also worth noting that the above-mentioned 5/6 (SkyBet) combination has clicked in each of Livingston’s last four home matches, as well as November’s reverse fixture with Hearts, all of which adds to the appeal of siding with the same wager in West Lothian on Sunday.
