Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Hibernian and Motherwell square off against each other at Easter Road in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Tuesday’s program. France forward Thody Elie Youan is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Adam Le Fondre, Jake Doyle-Hayes, and Chris Cadden remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Well, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Livingston, but they face a tough challenge against Hibernian, who are tough to beat at home. A close encounter is on the cards at Easter Road and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Stuart Kettlewell is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Lions at the weekend as the talented tactician has no fresh injury worries.
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.
