Hearts vs Hibernian Prediction & Betting Tips (28 February)

Winning games has come easily to Hearts on their own patch of late, as they have triumphed 19 times in their most recent 21 matches at the top table of the Premiership. Hibernian, on the other hand, have found the going extremely tough on their travels in the last few months, suffering six defeats in eight fixtures in the Premiership.

Hibernian have featured 19 times since they were last involved in a scoreless draw at the top table of the Premiership, with these contests yielding a grand total of 56 goals. What’s more, 19 of the previous 19 Premiership fixtures involving Hearts have also been of the over 2.5 goals variety, so any deviation from this script would come as a surprise.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from five of the previous six Hearts home games in the Premiership, so thrillers have been few and far between at the home Stadium. As for Hibernian, just four of their most recent 17 away matches at this level have produced goals at both ends, which doesn’t offer much hope.
