Predictions v Dundee United

**Dashing Bob S** · 10-01-2020 04:30 PM

They've assembled a decent squad and are a defacto SPL club. We will have to perform to go through. I think we'll prevail, but it might take two ties. 1-1 with 3-1 Hibs in the replay at ER.

3-2 Doidge doing a Brebner. Hearts losing 4-0 to Airdrie would be nice too.

***H18S NX*** · 10-01-2020 05:09 PM

1-1 draw

**Bronson** · 10-01-2020 05:44 PM

Skoosh it 0-3

**~~Cataplana~~** · 10-01-2020 05:47 PM

This has banana skin written all over it, and sadly I think the Arabs will edge it with a goal from Sam Stanton.

***Stuart93*** · 10-01-2020 05:49 PM

Depends if/who we bring in before the game

Go there without making any signings at all and we could struggle

**Since452** · 10-01-2020 05:49 PM

2-0 Hibs

***wookie70*** · 10-01-2020 05:50 PM

I'd be happy with a draw and get them back for a money spinning replay under the lights

Not sure it can be described as a banana skin. Any Championship team away from home is going to be tricky, especially after the winter break, and we were unlucky enough to get the best one.

I'll take a draw right now.

It's only a potential banana skin.

**Joe6-2** · 10-01-2020 05:59 PM

2-0 Hibs

**we are hibs** · 10-01-2020 06:05 PM

Depends if we manage to bring anyone in between now and next week. If we do we will win. If not i think we will draw and it will be a replay in Leith.

**nellio** · 10-01-2020 06:05 PM

Arab supporting mate seems to think they will be concentrating on the leauge so won't be putting a strong team out. 3 1 hibs.

They are 14 points clear at the top of the league, and we are only 12 points ahead of the other lot!!!
Why on earth would we be worried about relegation, and they know they've skooshed their league!!!
If that quote had come from Levein we would have been laughing on here!!!!
This will be very tight a win by the odd goal, not sure who for though???

**Del Boy** · 10-01-2020 07:01 PM

Take a draw

***HibbyAndy*** · 10-01-2020 07:04 PM

3-0 Hibs

Maybe but I think a replay may be on the cards.

A defeat would be a body blow and likely mean a poor season and resultant impact on Season tickets.

i can't wait to see who we get in the next round, that is all

***lord bunberry*** · 10-01-2020 07:13 PM

It’s a game that is very similar to ourselves when we were down there. We fancied our chances when we played a top flight team and Utd will as well. I’ve seen them a few times this season and they haven’t looked anything special, but they’re miles ahead in the league so they’ve obviously got something about them. In these games it’s all about what we do, if we play well we’ll win if we don’t we will be in for a tough game. I’m going to say 5-0 hibs

**The Captain....** · 10-01-2020 07:20 PM

Pretty difficult to predict a Hibs performance with any certainty of late. Every time we seem to turn a corner we put in a disappointing effort. Utd have looked decent when I've seen them and move the ball quickly with lots of one touch stuff so it wont be easy.

I'd take a draw and get them back to ER.

United are built on a pretty solid defence, think they’ve only conceded 3 goals in their last 11 games which is pretty impressive even in the championship. Don’t think their midfield is anything special but obviously Shankland and, to a lesser extent, Clark are big goal threats.

**HappyAsHellas** · 10-01-2020 08:01 PM

If we have to worry about Clark being up front we're in trouble. Saw them a few times this season and in the last derby Dundee were by far the better side. Fully expect a comfortable 3 - 0 for us.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 10-01-2020 08:27 PM

I'm not getting a lot of the pessimism on this thread.

***Sprouleflyer*** · 10-01-2020 08:58 PM

Do we do well after these training camps?

Dundee Utd on a run of 11 wins out of 12?

Think we will struggle, getting a draw and a replay would be a decent result imo.

**TimeForHeroes16** · 10-01-2020 09:00 PM

2-2 Shankland last min equaliser

2-0 hibs at ER

***H18 SFR*** · 10-01-2020 09:16 PM

Really looking forward to this one. Given Dundee Utd's excellent form, morale and goal threat, I would take a draw right now in a heartbeat.

We would dispatch them at Easter Road under the lights routinely.

**WeeRussell** · 10-01-2020 09:32 PM

I don’t think it’ll be “comfortable” for either team. Hopefully our better players are involved and can control the game. And hopefully our defence are able to keep Shankland and McMullen reasonably quiet.
