Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Following a 3-1 loss to Rangers, Hibernian will look to get back on course when they face St Johnstone in the Premiership round 32. The Hibs have been involved in some high-scoring games of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Chris Cadden has aggravated his injury, with Dylan Levitt likely to step up. All Luke Amos, Owen Bevan, Josh Campbell, and Jake Doyle-Hayes are sidelined with injuries.
The Saints, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Celtic and Dundee FC, but they will have a big fish to fry against Hibernian, who outplayed Livingston 3-0 in their last home game. All Diallang Jaiyesimi, Sven Sprangler, Cameron MacPherson, Ross Sinclair, and Drey Wright are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. In their last meeting at the venue Hibernian recorded a 2-0 win over St Johnstone and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Team (Hibernian):
Founded in August 1875, Hibernian are the Scottish Premier League team that play home matches at Easter Road. The capacity of the venue is 20,421, and it was opened in 1893. The Hibs wear light green shirts with white sleeves and white shorts in home matches, while light grey is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Hibernian clinched their first Scottish league trophy back in the 1902/03 season, and they were the dominant force in Scottish football in the early 50s, securing three titles more from 1948 to 1952. The Easter Road outfit recorded their biggest win on September 3, 1881, with the team rolling over Black Watch Highlanders 22-1.
In February 1961, the Hibs suffered the biggest defeat in the club's history as they were beaten by Airdrie 11-1. Hibernian and Hearts face each other in the Edinburgh derby. The rivalry between the two clubs is considered one of the oldest rivalries in world football.
