Hearts v Hibernian Tips, Predictions & Latest Odds
It's derby day in Edinburgh on Saturday as Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts host Hibs at Tynecastle.
Derek McInnes has made a flying start as Hearts boss, collecting 16 points from a possible 18 and backing up a 2-0 win at Ibrox with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Falkirk last weekend.
Hibs, meanwhile, have been frustrated by too many stalemates, drawing their last five league games.
David Gray's side did claim a creditable point at Celtic Park, but they remain without a Premiership win since the opening day at Dundee.
Free Bets has taken a look at some of the best Scottish football tips ahead of Saturday's huge clash.
Hearts v Hibernian Tips
Here are our three top football tips ahead of the game at Tynecastle.
Tip 1: Hearts to win & both teams to score
Hearts have been ruthless in front of goal this season, netting 15 times in their first six Premiership fixtures and scoring more than once in each of those games, so it's no shock to see them odds-on with the betting sites to notch up another win Saturday.
They face a Hibs side that continue to look shaky at the back – conceding multiple goals in seven of their last nine matches – yet they still carry an attacking threat, having scored 10 goals in their six league games to date.
With both teams to score landing in six of the last seven Edinburgh derbies, the value bet on Saturday could be Hearts to win and goals at both ends at Tynecastle.
Tip 2: 11 or more corners
The stats strongly suggest a high corner count in Gorgie, with both Edinburgh sides averaging double figures in total corners across their recent matches.
Hearts have seen an average of 11.1 corners in their last 10 games, with an average of 10.8 per match at Tynecastle.
Hibs also contribute, with their last 10 games producing an average of 12.1 corners.
With both teams attacking well and conceding chances, an 11+ corner count looks highly likely on Saturday evening and offers excellent value at Evens.
Tip 3: Cammy Devlin to be shown the first card
Cammy Devlin has become a real fan favourite at Hearts since joining from Newcastle Jets in 2021, thanks to his tireless energy, tenacity, and no-nonsense style of play.
The Australian international is renowned for his combative edge – he's never afraid to snap into a challenge or put his body on the line for the team.
The midfielder picked up 12 bookings last season for Hearts, with two of them coming against their Edinburgh rivals, including one of which was the first yellow card of the match.
Hearts will aim to stamp their authority on this match early, and Devlin looks overpriced at 11/1 to end up in the book first on Saturday evening.
Hearts v Hibernian Team News
Hearts head into the derby with a lengthy injury list, missing the likes of Calem Nieuwenhof, Christian Borchgrevink, Craig Gordon, Ageu, Finlay Pollock, Frankie Kent, and Ryan Fulton.
Lawrence Shankland, who has scored three goals in his last two games, is set to lead the line again with support from Elton Kabangu, Alexandros Kyziridis, and Harry Milne, while the back four that helped secure a 3-0 win over Falkirk should remain unchanged.
Hibs also have injury concerns, with Alasana Manneh, Joe Newell, and Thody Elie Youan sidelined, while Jamie McGrath is a doubt after limping off against Celtic.
If unavailable, Josh Campbell is likely to step in, joining Martin Boyle and Kieron Bowie in attack, with Daniel Barlaser and Miguel Changa Chaiwa anchoring midfield.
