WDWLDW

In that game, Hibernian had 57% possession and 14 shots on goal with 4 on target. For Hibernian, goals were scored by Jordan Obita (5'), Myziane Maolida (7') and Adam Le Fondre (22'). At the other end, Livingston had 9 shots at goal with 3 of them on target.
Throughout their 6 most recent matches, Nick Montgomery's Hibernian have seen their goal attempts be successful a total of 10 times thus earning them a goals scored per game average of 1.67.
Looking at their past form shows that Hibernian:
- have not beaten Rangers in games played away from home for the previous 10 league games. A very poor set of away results, indeed.
- are unbeaten in their last 4 league matches away from home.
- havenโt won away from home in the past 5 league matches.
โ๏ธ Head to head
An inspection of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 15/12/2022 shows that these fixtures have been miserable for Hibernian. They have not been able to register any wins whatsoever whereas Rangers have dominated them, beating them in 100 per cent of those match-ups.
There were also goals galore in those games, with 23 in all at an average of 3.83 goals per meeting.
๐ฐ Team News: Rangers
It looks as if The Gers may well use a 4-3-3 system in the match with Jack Butland, James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, John Souttar, Borna Barisic, Mohamed Diomande, John Lundstram, Nicolas Raskin, Rabbi Matondo, Cyriel Dessers and Fรกbio Silva.
๐ Team News: Hibernian
Thanks to a largely healthy group of players, there is just a single fitness problem for the Hibernian gaffer Nick Montgomery to contend with. Jake Doyle-Hayes (unknown injury) wonโt be in action.
Itโs our belief that The Hibees seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting David Marshall, Chris Cadden, Will Fish, Rocky Bushiri, Jordan Obita, Nectarios Triantis, Joe Newell, รlie Youan, Emiliano Marcondes, Myziane Maolida and Adam Le Fondre.
โจ Prediction
In this match, Hibernian will surely find it tough to break down a Rangers team who should control this match over the entire pitch.
Weโre going for a convincing 3-0 winning scoreline for Rangers by the conclusion of the match.
