Hibernian take on the visitors Rangers in the round 27 match of Scottish Premiership. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 8th at Easter Road (Edinburgh).
Hibernian are highly likely to make it to the top six by the end of the regular season. However, it should be understood that a five-point advantage is not that great, and they have two matches ahead against Rangers and Celtic, and then also against Hearts. While their main competitors are also losing points, it all depends on Hibernian themselves. The dilemma is whether to prepare for the next matches or try to fight Rangers at home. In the last few rounds, the hosts have looked good enough, but does that really matter when you play against top opponents who are two or three goals ahead of you?

The only consolation for Rangers at the end of the season will be winning the country's cup. Not long ago, Rangers lost to their eternal rival Celtic in the league cup, and they are nine points behind the first place, so they will certainly not be able to compete for the championship. For the umpteenth time, they have no chance in head-to-head confrontations, conceding just over one goal in away matches. Although the visitors have not lost points in the championship for seven rounds and even beat Hearts 3-0 away, one should be extremely cautious about their chances not only to beat Hibernian but also to do it with a clean sheet.
The two teams played each other twice in the current season, and both times the hosts scored two goals each. Essentially, the hosts have nothing to lose in this match, and the fans will not condemn them for losing. Hibernian is on a good scoring streak, and they even managed to score against Celtic on the road. Rangers' problems away from home have not disappeared from last season. Yes, the visitors score and win, but they also concede enough. Perhaps this time the hosts will even manage to get a draw result.
Prediction for the match: Rangers to win with clean sheet – no.
