Hibernian - Motherwell predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Motherwell are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Hibernian should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

Motherwell 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 4.20 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

The performance Hibernian gave their fans at the Easter Road Stadium last round was lacklustre at best, ending with an HT/FT defeat few predictions saw coming. They botched a relatively favourable matchup and the backing of their home supporters to record a 0:4 loss.

The previous round of the Premiership saw Motherwell dominate Ross County despite playing away, ultimately recording an HT/FT victory with a considerable goal difference. Even more impressively, most bookies considered Ross County to be the hard favourites going in, which just goes to show how impressively the away team performed.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Motherwell netted 9 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this Premiership season. Hibernian narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Wednesday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.74, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
