Hibernian vs Dundee United Prediction: Road team will not lose this game

Easter Road will host the Scottish Premiership game between Hibernian and Dundee United. Both teams have struggled in recent times. How will this one unfold?

Hibernian settled for a goalless draw against Ross County during the week and will look to secure a win here. In that encounter, Hibernian had 54 percent of the possession and had 12 shots attempted while failing to convert any two on targets. In the meantime, Hibernian have been unable to win any of their last five league games, losing three and drawing two. In those matches, Hibernian scored four goals while conceding seven. 

Dundee United's last league game was against Motherwell, and they lost. In a match that ended 1-2, Dundee United were held to a 1-1 draw at halftime, thanks to Sam Dalby’s strike, but a second half Tawanda Maswanhise’s strike in the second half denied them a point. In the meantime, Dundee United have lost consecutive games, the first against Aberdeen. With 15 points, Dundee United sit 5th in the standings. 

Hibernian are a bit favored in this game, but they are not worth taking a chance on, considering how weak they have been this season. With Dundee United playing so well, I expect them to step up following consecutive defeats. This could be a close game, but I expect a win in either half for the visitors, which could end with goals.
