Hibernian vs Dundee Prediction

How each side has been playing

Dundee have won three of their last seven league games, including that win at Dundee United and a home victory over Aberdeen, but they've also lost three, most recently at Celtic. It's a solid if unspectacular return.

Hibernian: 20 completed matches; Dundee: 20 completed matches.

Hibernian have picked up just two league wins in the same number of matches. Both of those wins came away from home, at Dundee and at Rangers, while their home Premiership form has brought no wins at all in the games we can see — a draw with Aberdeen and defeats to Kilmarnock, Hearts and Motherwell.

Hibernian's only league wins this season have come on the road, not in front of their own fans.

Comparative Team Statistics: Hibernian vs Dundee

Their recent meeting

These sides played each other at the end of August, and Hibernian won 2-1 away at Dundee. That's a fairly direct answer to how the sides compare right now, even if it was Dundee's ground rather than Hibernian's.

Further back, the head-to-head record is mixed, with wins for both sides across recent seasons. One result from a month ago shouldn't be read as a guaranteed pattern for this next meeting, especially with it now being Hibernian's turn to host.

Where they sit in the table

Dundee are fourth with 10 points from seven games, having scored nine and conceded seven. Hibernian are down in tenth with seven points from the same number of matches, with eight goals for and eleven against.

That's a reasonable gap in both points and goal difference at this early stage of the season.

Players to watch

J. Westley is Dundee's top scorer with three goals in seven appearances, while Hibernian's M. Boyle has the same tally from six games, with C. Wright not far behind on two.

Penalty cards:

E. Hamilton x 2

On discipline, Dundee's Ž. Bešir has already been sent off once in just three appearances, and E. Hamilton has picked up two yellow cards in seven games. That's worth keeping an eye on if the match gets feisty.

Dundee's disciplinary record this season has a couple of flags worth noting.
