Hearts vs Hibernian Prediction & Betting Tips

Hearts vs Hibernian Match Preview

The Edinburgh derby returns with Hearts in dominant form and Hibernian searching for their first league win of the campaign. The hosts have been ruthless in front of goal, while Hibs have been hard to beat but prone to draws. Local pride and Premiership points make this one of the standout fixtures of the weekend.

Hearts Analysis: Home dominance fueling Jambos’ surge

Hearts have started the season impressively, winning five of their six league matches. Their only dropped points came in a 3-3 home draw with Motherwell, but otherwise they have looked sharp in attack and compact at the back.

The Jambos have scored 15 goals, the best return in the division so far, while conceding only six. Recent wins over Falkirk (3-0) and Rangers (2-0 away) underline both their attacking power and defensive strength.

At Tynecastle, Hearts remain unbeaten this season, giving them confidence heading into one of the most heated derbies in Scottish football.

Hibernian Analysis: Hibs stuck in a run of stalemates

Hibernian are still waiting for their first victory of the season, with all six matches ending without defeat but five of them in draws. Their most recent outing was a hard-fought 0-0 at Celtic, following a run of four consecutive score draws.

The Hibees have scored 10 goals in total but have conceded nine, often giving up leads late in games. A thrilling 3-3 against Dundee United highlighted both their attacking flair and defensive issues.

On the road, they have been competitive but unable to find a cutting edge, and that remains their biggest challenge as they head into Tynecastle.

Smart Insights by LeagueLane®

• Hearts are unbeaten in their last 6 Premiership matches, winning 5.

• Three of the last four derbies have ended level.
• Hearts have scored 2 or more goals in 4 of their last 5 league matches.

Hearts vs Hibernian Prediction

Hearts come into the derby in excellent form and with the best attacking record in the league. Their ability to score freely, combined with a strong defensive structure, makes them the favourites on home soil.

Hibernian’s habit of drawing matches suggests they will be competitive, but their lack of cutting edge in front of goal has been costly. With Hearts winning comfortably in recent outings, this match looks set to follow a similar path.

Backing the hosts to win is supported by the stats, while a 2-0 home victory fits both their recent scoring trends and the betting angle.
