- Hibs have scored 1.67 goals per game away from home in the Premiership 2026/2027.
- Dundee United's games average 0.67 goals per match and 1.33 goals conceded at home.
- The Terrors have gone winless in three home games in the top flight (D2, L1).
Side with the visitors
Dundee United FC sit 9th in the Scottish Premiership 2026/2027 table with eight points from seven games, while Hibernian sit just one point behind them in 10th after seven games. While both teams have been in relatively poor form in recent times, the Terrors appear to have just found their feet in the last few weeks.
Jim Goodwin has been in charge since 1 March 2023, which gives him plenty of time to get his imprint on the club and he has done a decent job of moulding a team that can change style from a 4-2-3-1 system to a 4-3-3 at will, which will suit them this week.
Dundee United have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches, although the momentum is now with them after a 1-1 draw at home to Falkirk and a 3-0 win away to St. Mirren. Hibs have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five, which isn't a great record by any standards.
Goals at both ends likely
Dundee United have scored an average of 0.67 goals and conceded an average of 1.33 in three top-flight home games. Marink Reedijk has been in charge of Hibs since 25 September 2026 and has tried to change the course of the Edinburgh club by trying to make them play a bolder, more intense style of football.
His side have won two and lost one of their three Premiership 2026/2027 away games so far, scoring an average of 1.67 goals, which suggests that Hibs will be the more likely winners on Saturday at Tannadice Park.
Hibs' last two Premiership 2026/2027 games have seen them play out a 0-1 loss at home to Kilmarnock and a 1-1 draw with Aberdeen, so they're clearly still searching for that 'groove'. Martin Boyle leads Hibernian's goal-scoring charts with three Premiership 2026/2027 goals from six games, while Jesse Randall has two from seven and looks to be the Terrors' spark in the final third.
Hibs’ hunger and momentum should tell
Reedijk's Hibs will come to Scotland to press high, push their wide players forward and play at a higher tempo than their hosts, which should see Dundee United involved in a second-ball tussle.
The Terrors have a more flexible way of playing with their press-and-counter style and that should suit this game, but the momentum is with Dundee United, and Hibs' away record is marginally better than their opponents in Scotland's top-flight so far.
The odds make Hibernian the slight favourites at 7/5, while the Terrors are at 41/25 and the draw is 53/20. We're backing Hibs at 7/5 in the outright market and the 'over 2.5 goals' market looks a solid bet at 31/50, with the both teams to score market at 53/100 looking the most likely outcome in a game where both sides will have a go.
