Recent respective form guides
Hibernian have lost just once in their last six home games, winning four and drawing the other one. These high-scoring games have yielded a total of 11 goals for the The Hibees, with 4 goals against.
The Jambo's have had a decent run of form away from home recently, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 2 have been let in at the wrong end.
