Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Hearts and Hibernian square off against each other at Tynecastle Park in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Wednesday’s program. The Jambos aim to recover from a massive 5-0 loss to Rangers and their three-game winning run at home ground is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Hibernian. The likes of Craig Halkett, Barrie McKay, Peter Haring, and Liam Boyce are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Hibs, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Dundee FC. Nick Montgomery’s troops are undefeated in the previous four away matches in all competitions and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Doyle-Hayes, Campbell, and Bevan miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
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.
