Rangers vs Hibernian Predictions

• Rangers are unbeaten in their last eight games but have conceded in all of their last five.
• There has been at least three goals in five of Hibernians last seven games.
• Hibs have lost all of their last four games.

Life after Gerrard

This will be the hosts first game since former manager Steven Gerrard left the club to take over the Reins at Aston Villa. The Gers have since appointed former player Giovanni van Bronckhorst as their new manager, but this one will come too soon for him to be in the dugout.
Rangers sit top of the SPL and are currently enjoying an eight-match unbeaten run in all competitions – a feat that started with a victory over this Hibernian outfit.

Hibs are not in the best of form at the moment as they’ve lost their previous four matches. They can count themselves unlucky as they do create chances. Of the 12.3 shots per game, they’re taking on average in the league, almost seven of those come from inside the penalty area. They work the ball well and considering Rangers are between managers and have conceded in all of their last five games, Hibs should feel confident of getting on the scoresheet here.

Goals on the cards

Both teams will do whatever it takes to get into the next round and we think there will be plenty of chances at both ends here. Their respective defences have gifted opportunities and so we think there will be at least three goals in this one, with Rangers winning comfortably.
