Hibernian v Hearts Tips

Hearts are still top of the Scottish Premiership. Celtic and Rangers are hot on their heels. Hibernian are playing at home, but with odds like these, I’ll be backing Hearts to win this match

Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts have hit a bit of a wall away from home and are four without a win in away games. They travel the short distance to face their Edinburgh rivals Hibernian, who are nine without a loss at home and would absolutely love to put one over their city rivals and really damage their chances of becoming Scottish champions. The last ten Edinburgh derby games have seen three victories for both sides, all by a single-goal winning margin, and four draws. This is highly likely to be a very close game. A draw looks worth a bet here.

This should be another hard-fought Edinburgh derby. Two of the prior three clashes this season saw under three goals, and with so much at stake??'particularly for Hearts??'I tip under three goals.

This could well be a very good game of football today. Hibernian and Hearts are both decent teams this season, and the season is drawing to an exciting climax. Hearts need to win this derby to keep their aspirations of winning the title alive. Hibernian are good, though, and they will be here to spoil proceedings for their Edinburgh rivals.

Hibernian are here to spoil Hearts' chances of winning the Scottish Premiership, and I think they can at least derail them for a while. Hibernian are a good side and they are very capable of winning this game today. Hearts need a win and they are capable too, but I believe both teams will score today.

Hearts lead the head-to-head 2-1 this season, though they did lose on their last visit to Easter Road. Away form has dropped, with one point in four games. I tip both to score today in a draw.
