Hibernian, Recent FormThe Hibernian squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against St Johnstone, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 3 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against St Johnstone's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Manager Nick Montgomery will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games at Easter Road Stadium.
They have been performing well at Easter Road Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Hearts, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 home win over St Mirren in their last league game, Hearts will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they recorded 54 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 11 shots on goal.
Manager Steven Naismith will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 7 goals. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games whilst also keeping a clean sheet in 4 of those games.
This squad has enjoyed a decent run of league form on the road of late with 4 wins from their last 6 away matches.
On an individual basis, Lawrence Shankland will be looking to cause Hibernian some problems having scored 5 goals in Hearts' last 6 away games in the league.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
The Jam Tarts have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with Hibs.
It has been a share of the points the last 2 times these sides have met in the league, with the game ending in a draw on both occasions; that said, Hibs may be feeling slightly more positive, having built up a run of 3 matches undefeated against their opponents.
Hibs player Martin Boyle will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Hearts, having scored 3 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
Hibs manager Nick Montgomery has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Chris Cadden (Achilles tendon), Jake Doyle-Hayes (Ankle), Adam Le Fondre (Hamstring) and Harry McKirdy (Heart problems) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Steven Naismith has a number of injury concerns in his Hearts squad to contend with: Liam Boyce (Leg), Cammy Devlin (Unknown), Jorge Grant (Ankle) and Odel Offiah (Illness)
