Lucerne vs Hibernian Predictions

• Hibs have seen both teams score in all five games this term
• The visitors have seen BTTS land in 16 of their last 18 matches
• Lucerne have seen goals at both ends in six straight matches

Hope for Hibs after late double

After 70 minutes at Easter Road last week this tie looked dangerously set up for Hibernian, who had seen their opener cancelled out. They were heading towards a 1-1 draw which would have forced them onto the front foot in this second leg – until they struck twice to secure a 3-1 lead.

That advantage has put Hibs in a fantastic position for this visit to Lucerne. They just need to protect their lead to progress into the playoff round of qualifying. However, they’ve been defensively shaky of late.

Back game to open up

With Hibs coming here with a lead to protect, this could be seen as a cagey game. However, that’s not really an option for the visitors, who have been poor at the back this term. All five of their matches have seen both teams score this season, with 16 of their last 18 games seeing BTTS land.

Lucerne have seen both teams score in each of their last six games and with a need to get forward and get goals, they should be involved in another open match. Hibs will enjoy playing on the counter, so they should have some joy going forward. As a result, back both teams to score.
