Recent respective form guides

Hibernian's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Hibees have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Heart of Midlothian's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Jambo's's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.

Hibernian find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 1 games have yielded only 0 points.

Heart of Midlothian's total of 3 points from their 1 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Hibees at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Jambo's come away with an easy victory. Away win
