Head-to-head statistics Hibernian FC - Falkirk
Hibernian: struggles in front of goal
Hibernian lost their previous Premiership match away to Dundee United, going down 1-0. They had the majority of possession - 55% - but were outshot on target 4-8 and failed to score.
Hibernian have played eight matches, winning two and losing five. In their last five games, they have won just once and lost three times. Their average goals scored at home has stayed low - under 1.5 for seven matches in a row, which points to difficulties in front of goal even on their own patch. That said, they are almost always involved in a goalscoring game: in six of their last seven matches, both teams have scored at least once. Their league motivation is moderate - they are four points behind the position they are targeting, so keeping the gap from widening is a priority right now.
Match Results: Hibernian
Falkirk: lacking consistency
In their last Premiership match, Falkirk led Dundee at home after the first half but went on to lose 2-1. Despite an almost identical expected goals figure - 2.36 against 2.35 - the hosts were well beaten on shots on target: 5 to 10.
Falkirk have been even less consistent: just one win from eight league matches this season, with four defeats. They have picked up only four points from their last five matches, and their attack rarely produces more than one goal per game - their average stands at 0.88. Defensively there are problems too, with the team conceding just over once per match on average (1.38). Their league position mirrors their opponents' - they sit five points off the top, which leaves them room to manoeuvre over the course of the season.
Match Results: Falkirk
Corners Prediction
In Hibernian's last 10 home matches, the total corners has exceeded 10.5 in every game, which points to a consistent trend towards a high number of set pieces. This is further supported by Hibernian regularly delivering more than 5.5 corners at home. A bet on Total Corners - Over 10.5 at 1.9* therefore looks justified.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely outcomes are 1-0 (12.65%), 1-1 (11.34%) and 0-1 (11.11%). All three have similar probabilities, suggesting the expectation of a narrow advantage for one side or a draw. The highest probability belongs to a 1-0 scoreline.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.*
Reliable Bet
Hibernian have won more than 4.5 corners in five consecutive Scottish Premiership matches, which reflects their consistent activity at set pieces. That trend has held across their recent fixtures, making Hibernian Team Corners - Over 4.5 at 1.33* a very reliable bet.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Both sides are showing similar problems at the start of the season: Hibernian have clearly struggled to convert chances even at home, while Falkirk have rarely been consistent in attack. Several trends point towards a reasonable likelihood of both teams scoring - Hibernian have scored and conceded in six of their last seven matches, which is also reflected in their opponents' average defensive numbers. Neither defence looks particularly solid: the visitors concede just over a goal per game on average, and the hosts also regularly allow opponents to create chances. Motivation in terms of the table remains at a moderate level, but the current form of both sides gives little reason to expect a tight, low-scoring game. The main prediction is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 2-1.
