Hibernian vs Hearts Prediction: Confident Hearts will not have an easy task

Easter Road will host the Scottish Premiership encounter between Hibernian and Hearts. Heading into this game, the two teams are coming off a league win. How will this fixture unfold? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions. 

Hibernian

Hibernian are coming off a league win over Dundee United and will hope for a similar result. In a 1-3 contest, this team came from behind to secure maximum points, thanks to Mykola Kukharevych, Junior Hoilett, and Kieron Bowie’s goals. In the meantime, the home team heads into this game with an unbeaten run of 14 matches, winning ten and drawing four in that run. In their last home matches, Hibernian have four consecutive wins, defeating Aberdeen, Celtic, Clydebank FC and Motherwell. Ahead of this game, Hibernian have 40 points from their first 28 matches, leaving them seated in 4th place. 

Hearts

Hearts played St. Mirren in their last league game and won. In a 3-1 contest, this team came from behind to take maximum points, thanks to second-half goals from Wilson, Nieuwenhof and Vargas’ strike. In the meantime, this team has won six of their last seven matches, with their only defeat coming against Rangers. In other encounters, this team defeated Kilmarnock, Brechin, Dundee FC and St Johnstone. Ahead of this game, Hearts sit 7th in the standings, having accumulated 36 points from 28 matches. 

Expert Betting Tips

Hibernian are a hot side at the moment, and losing to any side looks very impossible now. While looking at how Hearts are playing now, their confidence is also at a top level with solid shows since last December. In the meantime, the two teams have been scoring goals, and this might be an encounter with a similar fixture. While I believe the two teams will do well to avoid a defeat, a draw at full time is a good option.
