Hibernian v Hearts: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Hibernian and fierce rivals Hearts find themselves in positive form as the Edinburgh duo prepare to cross swords once again at Easter Road on Sunday.

Since a 3-0 defeat at the hands of champions Celtic at Parkhead on 7th December, Hibs have gone unbeaten in their following 12 Premiership games.

Drawing at home against Rangers and beating Celtic in that time, Hibs will be full of confidence going into this showdown with Hearts in the capital.

Hearts also find themselves in fine fettle ahead of Sunday’s showdown, with just one defeat in their last nine Premiership outings.

Neil Critchley's side have won four of their last five matches, netting 15 goals in that spell, so a high-scoring encounter might well be on the cards in this Edinburgh derby.

Hibernian v Hearts betting tips and predictions

Draw and both teams to score - 10/3

Only four points separate these two evenly-matched sides in the Premiership table ahead of Sunday’s showdown in Leith.

Games between these sides have tended to be played on a knife-edge, with often both teams cancelling each other out.

A derby that is rarely short of drama, going with both teams to score in a draw appeals at odds of 10/3.

This bet would have landed in four of the last six meetings between these great rivals, including a 1-1 draw the last time they locked horns at Easter Road earlier this season.

Seeing the trend continue this weekend offers good value and would come as little surprise given how hard to beat both sides have been over recent weeks.

Martin Boyle anytime goalscorer - 2/1

Currently Hibernian’s top goalscorer in the Premiership with seven goals, Martin Boyle is well priced at 2/1 to find the back of the net on Sunday.

The Australian started 2025 on fire, scoring braces in three consecutive games against Rangers, Motherwell and Clydebank.

Boyle has been on a dry run in front of goal of late, but might well add to his tally this weekend in the Edinburgh derby.

The Aussie playmaker is a reliable penalty taker and should referee John Beaten point to the spot on Sunday, Boyle has the experience and quality to cope with the pressure.

Elton Kabangu anytime goalscorer - 11/4

What an addition Elton Kabangu has been to the Hearts squad since his arrival on loan in January from Belgian Pro League outfit Union SG.

Grabbing his opportunity to impress with both hands, Hearts boss Critchley will have been delighted with the start Kabangu has made since arriving at Tynecastle Park.

It has taken the 27-year-old no time at all to settle into life in the Scottish capital, scoring five goals in his first six Premiership appearances for Hearts.

A pacy forward who has the ability to burst away from defenders and provide a composed finish, Kabangu is another player who offers great value in the anytime goalscorer market for this one.

Already becoming a favourite amongst Hearts fans, Kabangu can earn even more admiration with a goal against their bitter rivals this weekend.
