Hearts face a trip to Hibernian at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 52 of the 127 previous games, with the hosts winning just 38.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2005, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Scottish Premier match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
An interesting game for the Jambo's to play at the moment, and one from which I believe will see Hearts take away one point. Score draw
