Hibernian prepare to entertain Heart of Midlothian at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 54 of the 137 previous games, with the The Hibees winning just 42.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was earlier this season, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides
Hibernian's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Hibees have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Hearts's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Jambo's have conceded 9 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.
Hibernian lie just outside the playoff positions in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, picking up 50 points from their 35 games so far. Hearts's 44 points from 35 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 6th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Hibernian at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the The Hibees will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
