Livingston vs Kelty Hearts Predictions

• Kelty Hearts have failed to score in two of their three games
• Livingston have won nine of their last 12 competitive matches
• Livi were 2-0 winners when these two last met in a competitive fixture

Livingston should be too strong

Kelty Hearts produced a big result in their midweek Scottish League Cup clash, securing a goalless draw against top-flight side Kilmarnock before winning on penalties. 

The League One side face a tough task to follow that up however as they visit another Premiership side Livingston.

David Martindale’s men have won two of their three games, with a 1-0 away defeat to Killie the only blot on their copy book.

Livi’s artificial pitch means that they often excel in their own back yard and it is hard to see Kelty getting anything from this encounter.

The hosts saw off Brora Rangers comfortably 2-0 last time out and they have had a week to freshen up following that win.

Aside from Kelty’s 4-0 victory over the same opponents, they have failed to find the net in two of their three encounters and look set to fall to a defeat without getting on the scoresheet.

Take Livingston’s defence to hold firm and the home team to record another win to nil.

Martindale’s men were 2-0 winners when these two sides met in this competition three seasons ago and a repeat of that scoreline looks a solid pick considering the fact that Livi have struggled to cut loose in this competition so far.
