Recent respective form guides

Hibernian need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. Hibees have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Motherwell's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.

Hibernian are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 28 points from 27 matches. Motherwell's 37 points from 27 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
