WWDLLD ⚖

Hibernian go into this fixture following on from a 0-0 Premiership drawn match vs Rangers.

In that match, Hibernian managed 45% possession and 17 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Rangers had 12 shots at goal with 2 on target.

It has been seldom in recent times that Hibernian have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Hibernian have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 9 goals in the process. Nevertheless, time will tell if the trend shall persist in this upcoming game.

Leading up to this clash, Hibernian:

• haven't lost in the league to Dundee United in their previous 5 matches.
• haven't won against Dundee United in their previous 2 league games.

Dundee United

DWLLWL

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Hearts in Premiership action, Dundee United and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, Dundee United had 30% possession and 3 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. For their opponents, Hearts got 22 shots on goal with 12 of them on target. Pierre Landry Kabore (11', 81') and Alexandros Kyziridis (29') scored for Hearts.

The stats tell the story, and Dundee United have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 10 goals in total. Defensively, Dundee United have been far from perfect.

Coming into this contest, Dundee United have left without a victory over Hibernian in away games against them for the last 5 matches in the league. They really have not been travelling well at all.

We’ve got the feeling that Hibernian can score a couple of goals when they come up against Dundee United, who might well find it difficult to score themselves.

We’re tipping a fairly comfortable 2-0 margin for Hibernian after 90 minutes.
