Derby predictions?

**we are hibs** · 29-10-2018 04:58 PM

I'll go 1-1. They've a few players (allegedly) out but our record there is abysmal.

**sauzee=legend** · 29-10-2018 05:01 PM

2-0 cabbage, early goal from Flo and a break away in the 2nd half from Boyle.

***HH81*** · 29-10-2018 05:01 PM

0-0.however, an early Hibs goal first half hour and I'm going 0-3.

**~~Here’s Lucy!~~** · 29-10-2018 05:03 PM

Sainsburys staff 0 v 2 Cabbage

***JohnM1875*** · 29-10-2018 05:04 PM

1-3 Hibs. I've had the feeling we're due them a pumping at PBS for a few years now. Never seems to happen though.

***H18 SFR*** · 29-10-2018 05:08 PM

1-0 Hibs or 0-0

***Jim44*** · 29-10-2018 05:15 PM

I hope for but never expect a win there, so a draw would be a great result. 0-0 or a jammy 1-0 win for them.

**~~Hibernian32~~** · 29-10-2018 05:31 PM

3-0 Mallan,Kamberi & Efe

***Libby Hibby*** · 29-10-2018 05:36 PM

Early goal for us and it’s ours...the longer it goes on, the more chance they have of sneaking one and then shutting up shop.

**Onceinawhile** · 29-10-2018 05:39 PM

Tight game, either a draw or one in it either way. Like 90% of all Edinburgh derbies.

**HibeeHibernian4** · 29-10-2018 05:41 PM

2-1 them. People predicting 0-3 and the like never seem to learn do they?

Last derby at Tynecastle where either side won by more than two clear goals was January 2006. It's just not happening, sorry.

**B.H.F.C** · 29-10-2018 05:48 PM

I don’t think we’ll lose.

Whether we win or draw is down to how Lennon sets us up. He’s always had us up for it against them at ER. At Tynecastle I think he’s been too cautious. I hope he goes for it.

They literally never learn. Its always ''we're due them one''

We're due them nothing. We're due what we get which is often nothing. We need to turn up and play to our potential for once.

I'd take a draw. Smart money on 0-0 IMO. Games there are dreadful. Would absolutely love us to win it.

***Col2*** · 29-10-2018 05:51 PM

The weekend cup defeat, the manner of it and the injuries they have has in my opinion turned this game into being winnable.

Assuming Naismith is out and also Haring - our team will be player for player better in almost all positions.

Kamberi and Boyle vs McLean and Wigtown

Ambrose and Hanlon/Porteous v Dunne and Dikamona

Smith v SDG

Mallan v Bosniac

0-2 Hibs win

***Scouse Hibee*** · 29-10-2018 05:58 PM

Draw or defeat.

All the usual clichés come out, while the previous games might play a small part in the psychology of the two squads, it is by and large completely irrelevant. With the two teams at fairly even ability, what appears to be happening in the last few years is:

Hearts come to Easter Road and aren't able to hunt in packs and close Hibs' passing down quick enough, Hibs win 1 or 2-0.

Hibs go to Tynecastle, there's precious little space for any football, Hearts run over the top of us and are ruthlessly clinical with the few chances they create. Hibs do well to get a point out of any game there, but quite often end up losing.

Based on all of the above, coupled with the fact that Hearts have made an exceptionally good start to the season, means that chances of winning, let alone by a two or three goal margin, are slim.

They are very good at Tynecastle, we similarly have turned Easter Road into a fortress, it comes as little surprise to me that there hasn't been an away win in this fixture since April 2014.

**~~Weegreenman~~** · 29-10-2018 06:05 PM

Prediction = Tight as a ducks hole. 1 nil either way! First team to score wins!

Never learn what? Learn to be a boring, disillusioned, cynical fart who can’t even muster up that little bit of excitement and belief that we could go there and pump them for once?

**** that. The day I ‘learn’ to become more concerned about predicting a correct score instead of getting excited about the fact it just might be the game where we put 8 past them is the day I give up.

No thanks. 3-0 Hibs.

The sort of mentality that I laugh at when I see it on Kickback.

If we win, I'll be as happy as any Hibs fan, in fact probably happier as I genuinely think there's about a 10% chance of it happening on Wednesday, so I'd be even more surprised/delighted by it.

I personally think that it's "boring" to repeat the same cycle of "we're going to ****ing pump the gunts this time!" only to be crestfallen when the usual script of a 0-0, 1-1, 1-0 or 2-1 Hearts win unfolds.

Of course I'm excited, but you'd have to be naïve in the extreme to pretend a pumping is possible. Levein would genuinely rather die than let his side concede 4+ goals to us at Tynie.

As long as your having fun.

I don't see any point in deluding myself. It will be a very tight game.

I know, that’s why I think so many people get caught up with trying to be ‘realistic’ rather than just relaxing and letting their imagination go a bit. You laugh at them so you’re make sure to be realistic so they can’t laugh at you.

Who cares if its naive? Was it naive to think that Leicester would win the league?

Personally I couldn’t give a **** if opposition fans laughed. In fact, if there is one thing I’d give Hearts fans credit for its the way that they seem to have this unmovable faith in their team regardless of how unlikely it is. People laughing at them talking about the treble - I much prefer seeing fans getting excited and talking about the possibility about these things happening than just ‘learning’ to accept that it’ll probably just be a 0-0.

Ive changed my mind, 4-0 Hibs

The drinks are on me for St J at home if that comes off.

Are we good enough to win? Yes. Are we the better team? Probably. Will we win? Probably not.

Fair enough my man. Ones mans deslusions is another mans faith and all that.

I’ll hold you that!

**Souter96Mac** · 29-10-2018 06:32 PM

I'm now feeling confident, which makes me uneasy. Heart is saying 3-0 win. Head is saying we lose 1-0 on some dodgy penalty.

***Eyrie*** · 29-10-2018 06:37 PM

Hearts to drag us down to their level on the Tiny pitch in a 0-0 draw, which they will then celebrate by releasing a commemorative DVD just in time for Christmas.
