Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Hibernian
Match Time & Date:

11:45 AM
Prediction: 1-2
Hearts
Hibernian will look to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Livingston when they take on Hearts at Easter Road on Matchday 22. The Hibs failed to win the previous three league fixtures, with the team remaining in the fifth place. Defender Paul McGinn, who limped off with injury at the weekend, is unlikely to feature in the midweek clash, with Rocky Bushiri pushing for a start.
The Jambos, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Motherwell. Hearts are on the right track to secure a top-three finish, and seeing that they have been performing well on the road of late, we are tempted to put our money on the visiting side. Both Michael Smith and Craig Halkett should miss out with injuries for the visiting side. In their last meeting at Easter Road Hearts outplayed Hibernian 3-1.
Highlighted Player (Christian Doidge):
Over the years Christian Doidge has established himself as one of the best attackers in Scotland Premiership. Born on August 25, 1992 in Newport, Doidge is a Wales international who plays for Hibernian in the Scottish top flight.
He is a product of the Southampton football academy, but he did not see any game action in the Premier League with the Saints. The towering striker played for Bristol Rovers during his youth career as well before joining Cwmbran Celtic at senior level. He played for the likes of Barry Town, Carmanthen Town, Dag & Red, Dartford (loan), Forest Green Rovers, and Bolton Wanderers (loan) as well before signing a deal with the Hibs.
Christian Doidge made his Scotland Premier League debut on August 3, 2019 in a 1-0 win over St. Mirren. The Wales attacker scored his first league goal for the Hibs against the same opponent three months late. Doidge has yet to receive a call-up for the Wales national football team.
Highlighted Team (Hearts):
Founded in 1874, Hearts are professional football club that compete in the Scotland Premiership. The Jam Tarts welcome their rivals at Tynecastle Park Gorgie, the stadium which can hold up to 20,000 spectators.
While the original Hearts strip was all white shirts and trousers with maroon trimmings, the club’s current home kit is all maroon with a white-collar. Hearts have won the Scottish Premier League title four times (1894/95, 1896/97, 1957/58, 1959/60), but they have been in Celtic and Rangers’ shadows in the 21st century. Hibernian are considered the club’s fiercest rivals. The two teams first met back in 1875 on Christmas Day, with Hearts winning the match 1-0. The Tynecastle Park Gorgie recorded their biggest win in 1880, with the team rolling over Anchor 21-0 in the FA Cup.
The club’s heaviest defeat came eight years later as Hearts were beaten by Vale of Leven 8-1 in the Scottish Cup. John Robertson is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart, with the left winger netting 214 goals for the club.
