FootyMad's prediction ...
The match against Dunfermline A. is certainly an interesting one with me deciding its going to end up with a victory for the The Hibees in a close run game. Home Win
Hibees-mad Editor Brian Hine's prediction...
Hibs need to get back on track after taking only 4 points from the last available 18, winning only once since we beat Rangers 2-1 at Easter Road back on November 27th 2005.
Dunfermline are scrapping for their SPL Lives with 5 points from the last available 18, with 1 win and 2 draws.
I'm going for the Hibees to get back on track, with a 3-1 win in front of a crowd bolstered by the hundreds of Hibs Kids + their pals, screaming their hero's on from the Stands.
