Hibernian - Dundee United predictions

Hibernian are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Dundee United winning, though.

Dundee United appear severely unprepared for a clash with Hibernian, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.73 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

The home side held pretty well for the first half of their last league match. Despite playing away as the underdogs (ODDS_AWAY_WIN_LAST_ROUND), they managed to stay afloat in the first half with only one goal breaking them after the break (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY).

With a price of 1.40 on them winning at home, Dundee United’s previous game was a completely one-sided affair. They were already behind at halftime and ultimately lost 0:5 – a rather predictable outcome if Premiership betting tips and odds are to be believed.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

With 9 goals in Dundee United’s net over their three most recent home games, online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of ending this game one with a clean sheet.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.78 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Hibernian won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

Saturday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

A Home Win at the odds of 1.75 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
