Hibernian

LDWWWL

Hibernian won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 1-0 Premiership loss in their previous game against Aberdeen.

In that game, Hibernian had 44% possession and 12 shots on goal with 0 of them on target. Aberdeen had 15 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Kevin Nisbet (80') scored for Aberdeen.

A recurring feature of recent Hibernian games is the number of results with a nil in them.

From their prior sextet of matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on both teams scoring would have been a losing one.

Looking at their past form shows that Hibernian:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Dundee United in their last 2 matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 10 home league matches. Visiting teams have certainly not had an easy time of it here.

Dundee United

After suffering a loss in their previous game against Celtic in Premiership action, Dundee United and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

Leading up to this clash, Dundee United:

• have not beaten Hibernian when having played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.

💡 Prediction

Our thinking is that Hibernian will probably dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

However, Dundee United are also probably going to find it difficult finding the net themselves but we can see them hitting back at some stage here, too.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 3-1 winning margin for Hibernian at full-time.
