Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
After eliminating Motherwell in the League Cup, Dundee will be looking to record their first Premiership win of the season when they take on Hibernian on Sunday afternoon. The Dark Blues aim to bounce back from a heavy 6-0 loss to Celtic, but the game against Hibernian will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. The good news for the hosts is that talented attacker Max Anderson returns from suspension.
The Hibs, on the other hand, suffered elimination in the Europa Conference League qualifiers, meaning that they will be fully focused on the national championship in the remainder of the season. Given Dundee’s shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors, who outplayed Motherwell in their first away game of the season. Kevin Nisbet should keep his place up front after finding the net in the League Cup triumph over Kilmarnock.
