Best Bet

This Saturday, Hibernian will face Dundee at Easter Road Stadium in a match that presents contrasting forms between the two sides. Hibernian are struggling to find their footing in the new Scottish Premiership season, having lost both of their opening fixtures, while Dundee have made a confident start, remaining unbeaten in their first two league games. As the pressure mounts on Hibs to secure their first points of the season, Dundee will be aiming to extend their impressive run.

Dundee’s recent performances suggest they are in a strong position to secure victory against Hibernian. Tony Docherty’s men have displayed a level of consistency that Hibernian have been sorely lacking. With a robust attacking unit, Dundee have scored five goals in their first two league games, averaging an impressive 2.5 goals per match. This attacking prowess is largely driven by players like Scott Tiffoney and Sebastian Palmer-Houlden, who have both found the back of the net this season and are likely to be key figures in Saturday’s encounter.

Hibernian, on the other hand, have endured a miserable start to their campaign. They have conceded five goals without reply in their opening two matches, a worrying sign of defensive frailty that Dundee will look to exploit. The lack of a coherent defensive strategy has been evident, with Hibs failing to manage even a single clean sheet in these games. Furthermore, their attack has struggled to make any meaningful impact, with Hibs yet to score a goal in the league this season. Even though Mykola Kukharevych managed to score in the Scottish League Cup against Celtic, it’s clear that the Hibs attack is currently misfiring in the Premiership.

Dundee’s attacking numbers make them a formidable opponent for any team, particularly one as defensively vulnerable as Hibernian. The combination of their attacking firepower and Hibs’ shaky defence suggests that Dundee are more than capable of taking all three points from this fixture. Moreover, Dundee’s ability to maintain possession and create opportunities in the opposition half—evident from their 51.5% possession rate and 58.2% pass accuracy in the attacking half—further strengthens the case for a Dundee win.

“Given Dundee’s form and Hibs’ defensive woes, backing Dundee to secure a win at Easter Road is a logical choice,” says BettingTips4You.com expert Herrin Kendrick. “Dundee’s consistent goal-scoring ability against a Hibs side that is yet to find its feet makes this a bet worth considering.“

Correct Score Prediction: Hibernian 1-3 Dundee

The correct score prediction aligns closely with the best bet for this match, forecasting a 3-1 victory for Dundee. This scoreline reflects Dundee’s offensive strengths and Hibernian’s defensive vulnerabilities. While Hibernian have struggled to score, they may manage to find the net at home, especially with the crowd’s support and the potential return of Kukharevych to the starting lineup. However, Dundee’s attacking form, coupled with Hibs’ defensive disarray, makes it likely that the visitors will score multiple goals.

Dundee have shown they can score freely, as seen in their 3-1 win over Hearts, and with Hibernian’s defensive struggles, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a similar outcome. The prediction of a 3-1 scoreline reflects the expectation that Dundee will dominate proceedings while Hibs might manage a consolation goal.
