In that match, Hibernian had 45% possession and 17 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. At the other end, Rangers had 12 shots at goal with 2 on target.

It has been seldom in recent times that Hibernian have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Hibernian have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 9 goals in the process. Nevertheless, time will tell if the trend shall persist in this upcoming game.

Leading up to this clash, Hibernian:

• haven't lost in the league to Dundee United in their previous 5 matches.
• haven't won against Dundee United in their previous 2 league games.

Dundee United

DWLLWL

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Hearts in Premiership competition, Dundee United will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Dundee United managed 30% possession and 3 shots on goal with 2 on target. At the other end, Hearts got 22 attempts on goal with 12 on target. Pierre Landry Kabore (11', 81') and Alexandros Kyziridis (29') scored for Hearts.

The stats tell the story, and Dundee United have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 10 goals in total. Defensively, Dundee United have been far from perfect.

Coming into this contest, Dundee United have left without a victory over Hibernian in away games against them for the last 5 matches in the league. They really have not been travelling well at all.
