Hiberninan vs Hearts

There will be fireworks when Hibernian and Hearts go head to head in the Edinburgh derby, with both sides arriving after victories at the weekend. Hibernian aim to carry the momentum from their 2-1 win over Dundee FC into this fierce local battle. The Hibs have won 50% of their last 10 matches, while their home record is stronger, with a 60% win rate and an average of 2.00 goals scored per game. Hibs have also found the net in all five of their recent home fixtures. Defender Rocky Bushiri remains in the treatment room, but he should be the only absentee for the hosts.

Hearts also secured a 2-1 victory, overcoming St Johnstone despite several absences. Kingsley, Renaud, Halkett and Ageu remain unavailable, but Hearts produced 1.71 xG from 18 attempts last weekend. Their last 10 matches have seen an average of 3.80 goals, while BTTS landed in 70% of those games. The Jambos have won only 25% of their recent away matches, though, conceding 2.50 goals per game.

As Bbth sides regularly feature in high-scoring matches, Over 2.5 goals seems like the best betting option for the Edinburgh derby, alongside Over 3.5 yellow cards and BTTS (56% H2H).
