Recent respective form guides
Heart of Midlothian need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Jambo's have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Hibernian's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the The Hibees have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Hearts are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 21 points from 22 matches. Hibernian see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 28 points from their 21 games played so far,
