Hibernian v Rangers

Hibernian vs Rangers Preview

The Scottish top flight action north of the border resumes in midweek which features this upcoming clash between Hibernian and Rangers at Easter Road with Hibernian looking to halt a three-match winless run in the Premiership, while Rangers will be keen to pick up where they left off as the visitors registered a comprehensive 3-1 home win against Kilmarnock last time out.

Hibernian currently occupy sixth place in the Premiership table but their position in the top six pack in the Scottish top flight has come under threat in recent times following two defeats and a draw, suffering losses at the hands of St Johnstone and Hearts along with being held to a 2-2 draw at home with Motherwell.

The bigger picture shows Hibs have managed to register just four wins from their previous 14 league matches overall in the domestic top flight and the hosts have also been handed four defeats and involved in no fewer than six draws as well within this period, so the prospects of a home win here seem slim.

Goals could also be in short supply as six of Hibernian's 10 home games to date this term have resulted in Under 2.5 goals and another low-scoring affair may unfold at Easter Road on Wednesday night as well.

Rangers bounced back from their recent 2-1 loss away from home at old rivals, Celtic, with a 3-1 home win against Kilmarnock last time out and The ‘Gers will be looking for more of the same when they hit the road in Wednesday night's clash against Hibernian.

That loss to Celtic has resulted in Rangers trailing their arch-rivals by an eight-point margin ahead of this midweek action but the visitors know they can whittle this down to just five points if they grab all three points against an inconsistent looking Hibernian outfit on Wednesday night.

The visitors had previously suffered just the one defeat in 13 matches overall in the domestic top flight whilst also picking up no fewer than 11 wins in the process which has kept Philippe Clement's side in the hunt for a possible Premiership title.

Results away from home also continue to impress as Rangers have slipped to just one defeat in their previous nine outings on the road while collecting seven wins along the way, so they will be in confident mood here.

However, goals may be at a premium here on Wednesday night as seven of Rangers' 10 away games so far this season have resulted in Under 2.5 goals along with Rangers keeping seven clean sheets as well.

Hibernian v Rangers Verdict

Both Hibs and Rangers have been involved in low-scoring encounters of late so the goals market appeals here with the Under 2.5 goals option.

Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 2.10
