Hibernian vs Hearts Predictions

• Hearts have won four of their last six away league games
• Hibs have failed to win five of their eight home Premiership games this season
• Lawrence Shankland has scored four goals in his last three Premiership appearances and four in six for Hearts in derby games

Hard to stop Hearts at the moment

Hearts have the edge over rivals Hibs going into Wednesday’s Edinburgh Derby date at Easter Road after two superb 2-0 wins in succession.

Steven Naismith’s side sit in third place, five points clear of the sixth-placed Hibees, after recording back-to-back victories over leaders Celtic and fifth-placed St Mirren.

Their momentum should enable them to come away from this clash with at least a point, although they have the ability to take all three against rivals they usually rise to the occasion against. The Jambos have lost only one of the last 12 derbies, winning six and drawing five of the other contests since 2020.

Hibs are no mugs so draw will be a big runner

The stalemate has to be a big runner, however, as each of the last two meetings has finished all square and Hibs are not in bad form themselves.

Nick Montgomery’s men have won four of their last six overall and their last two at home, seeing off Aberdeen 2-0 with goals from Dylan Vente and Will Fish the last time they played in front of their home support.

Goals have been relatively scarce in Hibs games of late with only two of the last six producing three or more, but they have scored in six of eight at Easter Road and should push Hearts into scoring a minimum of two to secure the victory.
