Hibernian take on the visitors Ayr at “Easter Road” in the Play Offs of the 1/8 final stage of the Betfred Cup. The game will be played in Edinburgh on Tuesday, August 8th.
Last season Hibernian played in Scotland's Championship having successfully gained promotion to the elite Premiership. In 36 games “Hibees” picked up 71 points with 59-25 goal difference. This summer Hibernian have conducted three friendly clashes resulting in two wins and a draw. The club has also participated in four encounters within the Betfred Cup having won its group with 10 points taken and 10-2 goal difference. “Hibees” are the home team as since the 27th of August 2016 the side has lost only three times at its own turf with 12 victories and eight draws gained.

Last season Ayr was relegated from the Championship to the Scottish League One. In 36 gameweeks “The Honest Men” gained 33 points with 33 goals for and 62 goals against. Despite last season's failure, Ayr won their group in Betfred Cup with 12 points earned, 15 goals for and three goals against this summer. In 2017 the club recorded three triumphs with six draws and four defeats in 13 encounters on the road.
Hibernian won three out of four recent head-to-heads against Ayr with 11-2 goal difference. I believe that the representative of the elite division will defeat the club from Scotland's League One in the current competition as well.
Prediction for the match: Hibernian to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
