On Saturday May 27th, Hearts hosts Hibernian at Tynecastle Park in a meeting of these two evenly matched Premiership teams in the ever popular Edinburgh derby. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 15 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Hearts sits at 4th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-1 win against Aberdeen. Matthew Pollock struck first for Aberdeen in the 31st minute, then Josh Ginnelly got the equalizer for Hearts in the 43rd minute on a feed from Barrie McKay But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 56th minute on a goal by Lawrence Shankland. Hearts looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Hibernian recorded a 1-3 loss against Rangers. James Tavernier struck first for Rangers in the 32nd minute, then Ianis Hagi added another in the 55th minute. Hibernian is looking for direction having 3 win and 5 losses in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, Hibernian won by a score of 1 to 0. Kevin Nisbet scored the first goal for Hibernian in the 67th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Hearts couldn’t muster any offence and Hibernian ran away with the shutout win.
Kevin Nisbet and Lewis Stevenson are the top scorers for Hibernian in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Hearts is glad to have Lawrence Shankland in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored five goals.
