Hibernian

WWDLWW

Hibernian are hoping to win again after their last result, a 0-1 Premiership success against Aberdeen.

In that game, Hibernian managed 32% possession and 8 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Hibernian was Christian Doidge (41'). On the other side, Aberdeen got 14 attempts at goal with 4 on target.

Their most recent results show that huge efforts have been put in by the Hibernian defence. The Hibees have kept it tight, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone in at their end during their last six outings standing at 4. Historical results aside, we must now wait to see whether such a trend will persist in this next match or not.

Taking a look at their past results, Hibernian:

• have not lost a league tie with Celtic in their last 2 games.
• have not beaten Celtic in their previous 7 matches in the league.

We’re going for a hard-fought 0-1 winning margin for Celtic when the referee blows for full-time.

Looking forward to this.
