Hearts, Recent FormHearts will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-2 win in their away outing against St Johnstone. They achieved 63% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against St Johnstone's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
On an individual basis, Lawrence Shankland will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Tynecastle Stadium having scored 7 goals in Hearts' last 6 home games in the league.
Hibernian, Recent FormThe Hibernian squad will want to put the 4-0 home thrashing they received from Celtic firmly behind them and may also need to find something to boost their confidence levels as a consequence. In that game they recorded 30 of the possession, with 6 attempts on goal, 1 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 18 shots on goal.
They have bagged 7 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 14 times in that period. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away league games. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
They have not be performing well away from home with 5 straight defeats on the road.
On an individual basis, Mykola Kukharevych will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Hibernian's last 6 league games.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Playing at home, Hearts have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Hibs. Playing away from home, Hibs have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Hearts.
Hearts have certainly shown themselves to be resilient opponents against Hibs in the league, having gone unbeaten against them in their last 5 meetings.
Hibs player Martin Boyle will be looking to cause Hearts some problems having scored 2 goals in the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Tynecastle Stadium.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Hearts manager Robbie Neilson with Beni Baningime (Cruciate ligament), Liam Boyce (Cruciate ligament), Craig Halkett (Knee), Peter Haring (Concussion), Stephen Humphrys (Ankle), Stephen Kingsley (Head) and Gary Mackay-Steven (Foot) all unavailable for selection, and Craig Gordon (Broken leg) out for the rest of the season.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Hibs manager Lee Johnson with Momodou Bojang (Groin), Jake Doyle-Hayes (Ankle) and Lewis Miller (Hamstring) all unavailable for selection, and Martin Boyle (Bruised knee) out for the rest of the season.
