On Saturday, 5 matches will be played as part of the 30th round of the Scottish Premiership. Hibernian will play Motherwell at home in one of them. We bring to your attention the forecast for this meeting.
Hibernian
The Edinburghers are holding on to 5th place in the championship standings, but have only 2 points to spare before possibly falling out of the top 6. Not so long ago, they celebrated a 3-match winning streak, defeating Kilmarnock (2-0) on their own field, and visiting St Mirren (1-0) and Livingston (4-1). But before the international break, there were two defeats from the strongest teams in the country – at home from Rangers (1:4) and away from Celtic (1:3).
Motherwell
Motherwell is content with only 9th place in the standings, having no serious chances to get into the top 6 before the second part of the season, having a gap of 9 points. Although from mid-February to mid-March, a period with 4 matches without defeats was issued: at home he defeated St. Mirren (2:1) and Hearts (2:0), and on the road he drew with Kilmarnock (1:1) and beat Ross County (2:0). In the last round, the expected home defeat against Rangers happened (2:4).
Statistics and figures
- Hibernian have lost their last 2 matches, although they had a 3-match winning streak before that;
- In the last three matches of Hibernian, the bet was "Both teams will score + Total more than 3.5 goals";
- Hibernian have lost only 1 of their last four home games, winning twice;
- Hibernian have a 7-match unbeaten streak in face-to-face meetings with Motherwell (4 wins + 3 draws);
- Motherwell have lost only 1 match out of the last five, winning three times;
- In five of Motherwell's last seven matches, there was a bet "Both teams will score";
- Motherwell have won only 1 match out of the last five away games, losing three times.
Forecast
Motherwell have been unable to beat Hibernian for more than two years. In this meeting, it will be difficult to interrupt this unpleasant series. The Edinburgers are in good shape and have a serious motivation to stay in the top 6. Stuart Kettlewell's team itself, having distanced itself from the group of outsiders, can afford to relax a little at the end of the first part of the season, because it has no serious prospects of breaking into the top half of the standings.
