The Hibernian manager P. Heckingbottom attacks this game with the team placed 9th so far. In the visitors dressing room Hearts and their manager C. Levein are in 12th place before this match.

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.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
