Preview

Match preview

Hibernian welcome Falkirk to Easter Road for a crucial bottom-half Premiership encounter, with only one point separating the sides in the table. Hibernian occupy tenth position on seven points from eight games, while Falkirk sit eleventh with six points. Both clubs find themselves in the relegation round neighbourhood and are in desperate search of consistency.

Hibernian have endured a difficult start on home turf, failing to win any of their four home fixtures to date with one draw and three defeats. Defensive vulnerabilities have been an ongoing issue for the Edinburgh side, who have conceded twelve goals in eight league matches and are yet to record a single clean sheet this campaign.

Falkirk have proven resilient on their travels despite sitting near the foot of the table. They have drawn three of their four away matches, suffering only one defeat on the road while conceding just four goals in that span. Having scored in each of their last five league outings, Falkirk will view this clash as an opportunity to take points off a vulnerable opponent.

Falkirk or Draw — 64% confidence

Hibernian have struggled at home, recording zero wins, one draw and three losses from four outings at Easter Road. Falkirk have developed a habit of picking up points away from home, losing only once in four road trips with three draws. Falkirk's defensive discipline away, where they have conceded just four goals in four matches, gives them a strong opportunity to avoid defeat.

BTTS Yes — 72% confidence

Hibernian have failed to keep a clean sheet in all eight Premiership matches this season, conceding an average of 1.8 goals per game at home. Falkirk enter this fixture having found the back of the net in each of their last five matches, with both teams scoring in all five. Head-to-head history also heavily supports this outcome, with both sides scoring in 80 percent of their last ten meetings.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and both teams to score), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
