Hibernian are welcoming Hearts for another important game after their 0-0 result against Celtic.
This is the Edinburgh derby, one of the longest running rivalries in world football. The first match between the two teams was played in 1875. Hearts and Hibernian are the two oldest professional clubs from Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland. A lot of pride is at stake when these teams meet.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
