Hibernian and Heart of Midlothian meet with contrasting recent form

Hibernian prepares for a match against Edinburgh rivals Heart of Midlothian following a difficult run of results. Hibernian has lost four consecutive home league games, matching a streak last seen in 2011. Conversely, Heart of Midlothian won its most recent away meeting against Hibernian in April with a 2-1 result. Statistics from last season show Heart of Midlothian scored all six of its goals against Hibernian in the second half, with the majority arriving in the final minutes. Hibernian demonstrated a trend of scoring earlier in these fixtures, netting three of its four goals during the first half. Heart of Midlothian seeks back-to-back away league victories against this opponent for the first time since 2020. Hibernian aims to avoid a third consecutive league defeat to its rivals, a skid that has not occurred in the top flight since 2012.
