Hibernian vs Rangers tips and predictions

Hibernian written off by all

You might believe the favourites are nailed on but that is fake news. Rangers are too short to have total faith in.

Hibernian will be under the hammer but they have reasons to believe they can upset the odds. The hosts have picked up 10 wins from 20 matches. And the visitors have been defeated in 1 of their last 3 matches. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this. Depending on who you listen to, you might have heard Rangers are nailed on for this. That doesn't sound right.

Hibernian are going to have to produce a level of football most people don't think they have in them. If the hosts are to ground out a win they'll have gained a lot confidence from their previous outings. The hosts are making the most of a recent purple patch and they're gaining some impetus. They have scored two or more goals in 11 of their recent 20 matches while kudos is also due for their defence. At the back they've kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 10 home games.

Away from home Rangers have actually conceded one or more times in all of their last 5 matches. To get this done the underdogs must not hesitate in front of goal.

So, if the home team is to pull off the upset, it is crucial that they take their chances. Their finishing has been imperious in some of their recent outings. It could make the difference for them between humiliation and an honourable showing.

If Rangers are to justify their short price they may come out eager to maintain a clean sheet. It isn't a strong view so maybe give it a miss but the No BTTS bet could be sensible.
