Hibernian prepare to entertain Heart of Midlothian at Easter Road Stadium on Sunday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 52 of the 131 previous games, with the The Hibees winning just 41.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was earlier this season, the Hibees carving their neighbours apart with 81% of possession and the narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish League Cup match was all the goals they needed.

Recent respective form guides
Hibernian have lost just once in their last six home games(2 goalkeeping blunders against rankgers), winning four and drawing the other one. These high-scoring games have yielded a total of 11 goals for the The Hibees, with 4 goals against.
The Jambo's have had a decent run of form away from home recently, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 2 have been let in at the wrong end.
Hibernian's 43 points from 30 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position. Hearts find themselves in a respectable 4th position, courtesy of the 48 points they have accumulated from 31 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...
The Hibees are in a rich vein of form at home as of late, but the one that FootyMad has marked this down as one of their banker draws, taking into account the quality of the opposition. Score draw
Hibs-mads Brian Hine thinks otherwise, I'll go for a resounding 4-0 home win for the Hibees and it could very well be even more !!!!
