Hibernian Preview – Can Hibs extend run and gain bragging rights?
Tuesday night’s hosts, Hibernian, will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Scottish Premiership to 4 matches when they play host to their Edinburgh rivals, Hearts, having registered recent back-to-back wins against Ross County 3-0 at home and a 2-1 win away at Kilmarnock.
Hibs also picked up a point in a 1-1 draw with Livingston last time out in the Scottish top flight but will be aiming to go one step better on Tuesday night as the hosts look to further consolidate their place in the top six of the division.
The hosts hold a 5-point cushion over 7th placed Kilmarnock prior to this clash, and with a fairly solid and stubborn looking home record which stands at 5-7-2 25/19 and with just 1 defeat out of their last 11 matches at home, Hibs look in good shape to add to their points tally here.
Hearts Preview – Can Hearts move off bottom?
A 4-match sequence without a win in the Scottish Premiership has landed Hearts bottom of the division and 2 points adrift of second from bottom relegation rivals, Hamilton Academicals prior to Tuesday night’s local derby at Hibernian.
Although Hearts picked up points in draws with St Johnstone 3-3 and Hamilton in a 2-2 draw, the visitors have also been handed back-to-back defeats to Kilmarnock 3-2 at home and then subjected to a heavy 5-0 thrashing at the hands of the league leaders, Celtic, away from home.
With a poor away record that stands at 1-4-8 9/27 and without an away win from their last 10 outings on the road, Hearts look to have a mountain to climb if they’re to get anything out of Hibernian in this clash, especially as Hearts have lost 6 of these 10 and have failed to score in 8 of these 10 matches too!
