Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Scottish Premiership match.
This match features the fourth- and fifth-placed teams in the league. Even a narrow win will enable Hibernian to overtake Dundee United, as they currently trail by three points.
Dundee United
Dundee United secured a win over Motherwell (1:0) in their last match. They have suffered three consecutive losses and were eliminated from the Scottish Cup by their rivals, Dundee (0:1). Since the beginning of the year, they have won only three out of nine matches while conceding in the others.
Hibernian
Hibernian continue their progress towards the top three. Since December 14, they have recorded 13 consecutive victories – 11 in the league and two in the Scottish Cup. Their most recent result was a 2:1 win against Celtic, who had earlier defeated them 3:0 in early December. Although their top goalscorer, Martin Boyle (12 goals), has been less prominent recently, Josh Campbell scored twice against the league leaders.
Dundee United vs Hibernian Prediction
Dundee United struggled to secure a win over a poorly performing Motherwell side, so we expect Hibernian to extend their winning run against these Premiership newcomers.
