The Hibernian & Rangers managers J. Ross and S. Gerrard are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Premiership league table.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. That game, against Lincoln Red Imps, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Rangers.
Hibernian form and stats
Overall Premiership stats at home this season for Hibernian are 1-1-1 (wins-draw-losses).
It's back home for Hibernian, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating St. Mirren away with the result 3-0. Kevin Nisbet, Martin Boyle and Joe Newell found the net in that victory. Preceding that match was a defeat to Aberdeen (0-1).
Hibernian have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. Hibernian are not conceding a lot of goals here at Easter Road Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Rangers form and stats
The seven points Rangers have gathered from their first three away trips in the Premiership is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.
Rangers have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin. It's been 754 minutes since they last conceded in Premiership.
Two travels in a row for Rangers, whose manager S. Gerrard could celebrate last time after the Europa League win against Lincoln Red Imps. Before that, Rangers secured a home win against Dundee United with the score 4-0.
As mentioned above, Rangers was the only team on the pitch versus Lincoln Red Imps in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
The schedule is very tough for Rangers now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Europa League game at Willem II is waiting in only four days.
The visiting Rangers have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 3 goals from 3 games. The Rangers defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (0 goals in 3 games).
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Hibernian one win, four draws and Rangers five victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
