Rangers - Hibernian predictions

Rangers are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.28, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Hibernian will be left with slim pickings in this match.

Instead of recording a comprehensive home win in the last round against Motherwell., Rangers ended up going down in the first half and failed miserably in their efforts to get back in the game. A narrow 1:2 defeat ended up being a huge disappointment for their fans.

The previous Premiership encounter could not have gotten much better for Hibernian who were heavily favoured to claim a victory anyway. They fully delivered as well, having taken an early lead and turned it into a 3:0 triumph.

Rangers are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 8 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Saturday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

Hibernian and their attackers have already shown a level of consistency so far this season, which is always good for betting. They’ve bagged more than 5 goals over the past 3 Premiership matches which is definitely a thing to consider ahead of this game.

The one-sided betting odds are not all that surprising. The last time these two squads went head to head, the hosts secured a landslide victory. Considering that happened this season and that they were the visitors that time around, the 1.28 odds make a lot of sense.

Kieran Dowell, Abdallah Dipo Sima, Oscar Manuel Cortés Cortés will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.50 if you use the William Hill sportsbook.
