APWin Prediction

Over 2.5 Goals

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Hearts win or draw

Even though Hearts will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Hearts to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

Hearts does have its share of flaws, but Hibernian has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Hearts.

👉 Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

We strongly suggest taking the total to go over 2.5 goals in this matchup between Hibernian and Hearts.

With the high quality of attacking talent on display coupled with the questionable defence of both teams, this bet has a great chance of hitting.
