Hibernian, Recent FormThe Hibernian players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Rangers recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. During that encounter they had 32% possession and had 14 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 7 of their 20 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Easter Road Stadium.
It's been mixed fortunes for Hibs at Easter Road Stadium recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.
Celtic, Recent FormCeltic manager Ange Postecoglou will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against St Mirren. In that game they had 77% possession and managed 21 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to St Mirren who had 10 attempts and 2 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. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 34 of their 36 games this season.
They have had an excellent run of form away from home recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games on the road. It's been a good season so far with them having won 31 of their 36 league games.
On an individual basis, Kyogo Furuhashi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Celtic's last 6 league games.
Celtic recorded a 3-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
The Bhoys have managed to keep a clean sheet against Hibs in each of their previous 2 visits to Easter Road Stadium. The stats show that in the last 3 meetings between Hibs and their rivals, The Bhoys, the former have conceded at least one goal. Celtic have a decent scoring record against The Hibees in recent times, having hit the back of the net 15 times in the last 5 matches between the two. The Hibees have struggled to break down the Celtic defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Celtic has won the last 3 games they've played against Hibs in the league.
Celtic player James Forrest will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Hibs, having scored 3 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
With both Martin Boyle (Knee) and Aiden McGeady (Hamstring) being out for the rest of the season and Kyle Magennis (Muscle) also unavailable in the shorter term, Hibs manager Lee Johnson will be relieved to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
Ange Postecoglou has a number of injury concerns in his Celtic squad to contend with: Cameron Carter-Vickers (Knee), Alistair Johnston (Knock), James McCarthy (Hamstring) and Stephen Welsh (Knock)
