4⃣The stats showed the Cypriot side having more of the possession but Hearts had the better chances and could have had 4 goals in the first half as Fabiano made an unbelievable save to deny Lawrence Shankland whilst Frankie Kent should have scored with a header from a corner.

🆚The Match:
An even encounter is expected at Tynecastle, with both sides looking to build on their Matchday 1 victories.

Expect an end-to-end game to see whether the points stay in Edinburgh or head back to Cyprus.

🆚The Match:
3 points up for grabs alongside the opportunity to go top of the league awaits the sides in Falkirk this evening.

Can Falkirk secure their first league win over Livi since 2015 or will Livi extend their unbeaten streak at the Falkirk Stadium to six games?

[Finlay’s Football Journalism⚽️✍🏻🌍 @FballJournalism]

📊Livingston Form: DWWWW

Livi are unbeaten in their last 8 games since their League Cup exit after defeat to Spartans. They have pulled off some top results to keep themselves in touch with the leaders and a big enough win tonight could put them top.

👀Livingston's Dangerman: Scott Pittman

Playing from deep his attacking endeavours don't go unnoticed as he plays a part in both creating and taking goalscoring opportunities. With 3 goals to his name so far this campaign, his impact on this Livi side will be instrumental.

The only other two losses coming in cup competitions versus Stenhousemuir and Celtic but their league form has remained solid with 6 wins and a loss so far this campaign.

Falkirk's unbeaten league run was halted by Raith Rovers just over a week ago but they responded with victory over Ayr at the weekend to go level on points at the summit of the Championship.
