SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder ahead of Livingston’s clash with Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon.
Livingston vs Hibernian (Saturday, 15:00)
Livingston and Hibernian will square off in one of three matches from the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts will be aiming to lift themselves off the foot of the table and to snap an eight-game winless run in the process.
As for the visitors, they will be looking to return to winning ways after falling to a narrow 1-0 loss at home to Rangers on Wednesday night.
Over 4 Hibernian Corners
For the first half of what will be a no thrills Bet Builder double, I’m going with Hibernian to earn five or more corners on Saturday afternoon. David Gray’s side have averaged 5.50 corners per game in this season’s Scottish Premiership, earning exactly five flag-kicks during Wednesday night’s 1-0 loss to Rangers.
Moreover, the Hibees have covered the 5+ corner line in each of their previous two meetings with Livingston this season, earning seven when the pair crossed paths a fortnight ago while they racked up nine flag kicks at this venue in a Scottish League Cup tie back in August.
It’s also worth noting that David Martindale’s hosts are conceding an average of 6.60 corners per game in this season’s Scottish Premiership, with three of the Lions’ four guests this term earning five or more flag kicks.
Over 1 Livingston Card
For the second leg of the Bet Builder, I’m more than happy to include Livingston to be shown two or more cards. No team has received more yellow cards than Livingston (29) across the opening 10 rounds of Scottish Premiership action. What’s more, Martindale’s men have tackled their way into the referee’s notebook on at least two occasions in eight of their 10 league games this season, including each of their four matches in front of their own supporters.
When Hibs were in town on League Cup duty earlier this season, the Lions were shown no fewer than four yellow cards while they collected a couple of bookings in the capital two weeks ago.
In fact, this particular Bet Builder would have been a winning one in each of the previous two meetings between the pair this season, and that only adds to the appeal of siding with the same formula in West Lothian on Saturday.
