The match between Livingston and Dundee United in the round of 17 will take place at the Tony Macaroni Arena. The two sides, neither of which has won in any of their most recent four matches, will now be hoping for a win as they compete against one another.

Joel Nouble scored the first goal for Livingston in the ninth minute, while Stéphane Oméonga scored an own goal in the 61st minute. On the other hand, Hibernian attempted 12 attempts on goal, 7 of which were successful in hitting the target. The goals for Hibernian came from Élie Youan, as well as Mykola Kukharevych. In the most recent games, it has been uncommon for Livingston to keep an opponent scoreless. The fact that Livingston's defense has been broken in six of their last six matches, resulting in 15 goals conceded during that span, will be a cause for concern for them.

Both of these sides are struggling to find their footing, as evidenced by their inability to score goals and win matches. Despite this, the home team is still a step above Dundee United, who are now in last place in the league. As a result, a victory is right around the corner for them. As a result of neither team having a particularly successful offensive performance, the total number of goals scored in this match now looks like a pretty safe bet.
