Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Hibernian will look to put an end to their three-game losing run in all competitions when they take on Dundee FC on Saturday afternoon. The Hibs made a slow start to the season, but this match could be the turning point for David Gray’s troops. Forward Elie Youan has yet to recover from a leg injury, but the 25-year-old should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Dark Blues, meanwhile, rolled over Airdrie 6-1 in the League Cup at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Hibernian, who are desperate to get back on course. As the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we predict that Dundee FC are going to return home empty-handed. The likes of Charlie Reilly, Clark Robertson, and Joe Shaughnessy are out of contention through injuries for the away team.
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.
