Dundee vs Hibernian Predictions

• Hibs lost to Midtjylland in extra time on Thursday.
• Dundee conceded in three of their four League Cup games.
• The Dee lost nine of their 19 home games last season.

Goals at both ends the starting point at Dens Park

Dundee and Hibs have both suffered disappointment already this season ahead of their meeting at Dens Park in the first round of Premiership games on Sunday.

Hibs were knocked out of Europa League qualifying by Midtjylland on Thursday, losing in extra time at Easter Road. They now have a chance to book a place in the Conference League and they head to Belgrade to take on Partizan next week.

Dundee were eliminated from the League Cup as they lost two of their four games and ended up in third place in their group.

The hosts have had a few extra days to prepare for this game but Hibs look a far stronger team and may be able to win despite the quick turnaround and being taken through extra time, so backing both teams to score looks the best option for our main bet.

Dundee were generally good for a goal or two at home last season as they failed to score in just one of their final 10 league tests at Dens Park. The Dee did concede a hefty 39 goals in 19 home games, however, and it is hard to see them keeping Hibs at bay.

Hibs can steal the spoils

A 2-1 win for the visitors is the correct score pick as they are clearly a far stronger team than their hosts.

The Edinburgh side finished as the best of the rest in third place last season and could well repeat that trick this year. Hibs won 4-0 when these sides last met in April and they picked up wins at Dundee United and Rangers towards the end of last term.

Their exploits against Midtjylland may have taken a bit of a toll on Hibs, but they still have enough quality to grind out a win at Dundee.
