📋 Team News: Hibernian

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Hibernian gaffer David Gray to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Kieron Bowie (Hamstring injury) misses out.

It looks as if The Hibees will possibly use the 4-4-2 formation this time, beginning the first half with Josef Bursik, Lewis Miller, Marvin Ekpiteta, Warren O' Hora, Jordan Obita, Martin Boyle, Nectarios Triantis, Joe Newell, Hyeok-kyu Kwon, Élie Youan and Junior Hoilett.

🗞️ Team News: St Mirren

From our viewpoint, The Buddies will likely make use of a 3-4-3 formation, giving starts to Ellery Balcombe, Marcus Fraser, Alexandros Gogic, Richard Taylor, Elvis Bwomono, Killian Phillips, Mark O'Hara, Scott Tanser, James Scott, Toyosi Olusanya and Greg Kiltie.

🔮 Prediction

We envisage that Hibernian have it within them to dominate possession and create several successful chances.

However, St Mirren are also probably going to find it difficult finding the net themselves although we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.

We’re predicting a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory for Hibernian at the end of this one.
