Hibernian

Sitting in 9th place, Hibernian has yet to win a Premiership match this season. With two draws and two losses, they’re looking to turn their fortunes around. The hosts have been defensively fragile, but their attack remains dangerous, particularly at home, where they average 1.5 goals per game.

St Johnstone

St Johnstone are just one spot above Hibernian, in 8th place, but they too have endured a rough start, losing their last three games. The visitors have struggled both offensively and defensively, and their recent form suggests they may find it difficult to hold off a Hibernian side determined to secure their first league win.
