The Scottish Premiership is currently midway through its competition process. As typical, the most robust Scottish teams have come to the fore, particularly the duo from Glasgow, Celtic and Rangers. Other clubs are battling for improved rankings, including Hibernian and Hearts, teams that also boast a rich tradition.

Currently, Hibernian holds the 6th position, with their primary aim to maintain their standing in the top half of the table, thereby securing a spot in the Championship group. They suffered a defeat against St. Johnstone in their recent away match, but still maintain a 3-point lead over their nearest rivals.

This season, Hearts has shown some improvement with a total of 29 points and a 3rd place position in the table. They secured victories in their last two matches, including an impressive win on the road against Celtic. This is undoubtedly one of the club’s more notable achievements in recent history.

Hibernian vs Hearts pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

In Hibernian’s previous two games, the goal tally was two or less. Throughout the season, their matches have averaged slightly under 3 goals. Hearts’ games are among the least productive in the league, with the lowest goal count of just 34.

On average, there are fewer than two goals per game. Considering that 5 out of the last 6 Hearts games concluded with two goals or fewer, we anticipate another match with low scores. Therefore, betting on under 2.5 goals seems to be the most suitable choice for this game.
