Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Hibernian will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Ross County and Aberdeen when they take on Motherwell on Wednesday evening. The Hibs have already secured the Premiership survival, but they surely want to finish the season in style. Midfielder Owen Bevan remains in the recovery room with a thigh problem, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Well, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Livingston (4-1) and Ross County (5-1) and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. As the visitors are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Both Barry Maguire and Jonathan Obika are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. In their last meeting at the venue the two sides played out a 2-2 draw.
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.
